With the help of his childhood friend, Airi, Satoru begins to develop a theory about the culprit's identity. He scours his memories and old photographs for evidence, and discovers a suspicious character in the background of several pictures from over a decade ago. The suspect, referred to as the Grim Reaper, is a man who worked at the local hospital and was known for his strange behavior.
