Plot
Aiko invites her to visit Ashikari, a remote hot spring village, to mend her broken heart. However, scattered throughout the village are strange, one-legged scarecrows and the atmosphere is downright ominous. At night, the two girls have a fight over Shiyori’s ex-boyfriend. Shiyori takes her cell phone to the waterfall and, hoping to forget all about her former lover, throws it in. Returning to her room alone, she hears another cell phone ring. She answers a call from a terrified man who shouts « Just get the hell out of here ! They’ll cut your leg off ! ». The stranger then begins to tell her about the ancient rituals still practised in the village. Who is this man ? Is he just teasing Shiori ? And why dit Aiko bring her here ? Not knowing who to trust, she rushes out of her room, the cell phone in her hand, to escape the villagers who are hot on her trail.
