1. Today marks the end of Golden Week.

2. Once school starts back up, it'll be harder to visit haunts on consecutive days.

3. So let's give this one 100%.

4. Right.

5. This building falls on a dragon vein that flows from Nikko Toshogu Shrine to Edo Castle,

6. and is built upon a point where spiritual energy naturally pools.

7. It's an old love hotel.

8. N-not a place we should bring a kid...

9. I've never been to a love hotel, abandoned or otherwise.

10. Yeah. I know.

11. You would.

12. Neither have I.

13. But you'll fix that, right, Kei-kun?

14. YOU'LL FIX THAT, RIGHT, KEI-KUN?

15. YOU'LL FIX THAT, RIGHT, KEI-KUN?

16. YOU'LL FIX THAT, RIGHT, KEI-KUN?

17. YOU'LL FIX THAT, RIGHT, KEI-KUN?

18. Th-that's kinda a big deal, s-so might we broach this topic of conversation at another time?

19. Sure. Don't forget.

20. Keitaro.

21. Don't know what you guys are talking about, but can we get back to it?

22. Y-yeah!

23. Stories say the ghosts of women haunt the halls of this love hotel.

24. It was once owned by a criminal enterprise.

25. Their leaders would drag women here, have their way with them, then kill them.

26. His victims were drugged, then died either from overdose or the violence inflicted on them.

27. Now, their spirits are bound to the hotel, wandering the halls in a desperate attempt to escape.

28. That's the story I found online, but from what I've seen, it seems mostly true.

29. But that's just what the public knows.

30. There's one more phenomenon going on inside.

31. I figured it out while observing the ghosts.

32. Though they're all looking for the exit, they all disappear before passing through it.

33. The location they disappear in is likely the location where they lost consciousness.

34. And after they disappear, their location seems to reset.

35. Reset?

36. Uh-huh. I'm guessing the victims were all abused in different rooms.

37. But their terror and desperation to escape have all merged together,

38. creating a room that doesn't exist that they now all try to escape.

39. That's the phenomenon the public doesn't know about: the "secret room."

40. Normally, there's no way to get in there.

41. And that's where I hid our Graduate.

42. Huh?

43. Wh-why there?

44. Wait, you said "normally," right?

45. Uh-huh. I figured out how to get in by observing the ghosts.

46. The wandering ghosts are all trying to escape that room.

47. They follow a path through certain room numbers.

48. By reversing the order they travel, we get a route that leads us straight to the secret room.

49. The Graduate's hidden in the bathroom of that secret room,

50. but I ran into an issue when I went to get her last time.

51. I got to the secret room, but every time I went through the door...

52. I ended up back at the entrance to the hotel. I couldn't get to her at all.

53. What?

54. The courtesan Graduate has manipulated the room

55. to only admit those she "fancies," turning it into her private pleasure district.

56. And she really, really doesn't like me.

57. But she'll probably invite you right in, Keitaro, especially 'cause you're a man.

58. So I'm gonna need your help.

59. Okay.

60. I'll send you the instructions for getting to the secret room. Memorize them good.

61. Got it.

62. YAYOI-CHAN

63. HOW TO GET TO THE SECRET ROOM

64. Ignore all other ghosts until you see one with waist-length hair.

65. 1. Before it gets to Room 203, change the room number to 413.

66. 2. Close the door to Room 304.

67. 3. Change the number on Room 413 to 203 and leave the door open.

68. As always, you'll need these.

69. If things get gnarly, use these to stay safe.

70. Wait, is this the Martyr?

71. And this is from Castle H...

72. Okay, let's go.

73. Wait, where'd they go?

74. Wh-what the hell?

75. Did everything just randomly change on me?

76. No, I must've wandered out of my world... and into the spirit world.

77. I gotta get out of here.

78. But what do I do? I don't even know how...

79. Stop it. Don't give up!

80. I have to think!

81. Is this a moat?

82. turning it into her private pleasure district.

83. Right... Back in the Edo period, the pleasure district was surrounded by a moat.

84. Did the Graduate do this, then?

85. If she did, then strengthening the seal on her should put an end to it!

86. Keitaro...

87. He's gone!

88. Is that his voice?

89. It sounds like him.

90. Eiko, can you see him on the GPS?

91. I'll check!

92. Found him!

93. He's right at the entrance!

94. Considering he disappeared,

95. REAL WORLD

96. Keitaro must be in the same coordinates, but in the spirit world.

97. SPIRIT WORLD

98. A ghost...

99. Yayoi-chan, Kei-kun's on the move!

100. Let's follow him and find the secret room.

101. Okay.

102. 1. Before it gets to Room 203,

103. 1. Before it gets to Room 203,

104. change the room number to 413 and open the door.

105. change the room number to 413 and open the door.

106. Change the number, open the door...

107. I followed her directions.

108. Maybe it's because I'm in the spirit world...

109. but I can see them now.

110. Now, her path should change...

111. Wh-what are those things?

112. I don't sense anything from them, but I can tell they're bad news just from looking at them!

113. No, hold on. They've got to be part of what leads us to the secret room.

114. I have to run ahead of her and follow the next steps.

115. 2. Close the door to Room 304.

116. 2. Close the door to Room 304.

117. Close the door to room 304...

118. HOT!

119. It's coming this way.

120. But it's not coming after me.

121. Remember, you're leading it somewhere!

122. 3. Change the number on Room 413 to 203

123. 3. Change the number on Room 413

124. to 203 and leave the door open.

125. and leave the door open.

126. I've gotta go after her.

127. It's so hard to breathe. The air feels so heavy.

128. That must be the secret room.

129. I made it!

130. Wh-what the...? What's happening?

131. I'm saved.

132. I'm seeing myself.

133. Wait, was I...

134. switched with her?

135. I'm back!

136. Wait!

137. Switch with me...

138. Someone's in there.

139. Help...

140. Eiko!

141. Kei-kun?

142. How did you end up here? Where's Yayoi-chan?

143. I don't know, she only took me...

144. I knew you'd come save me.

145. Thank you. I'm so happy you came.

146. When we get home, I'll give you a nice, big reward.

147. So could you hurry up and get these ropes off me?

148. What did she just say?

149. Is she...

150. really Eiko?

151. She's not Eiko!

152. C'mon, hurry.

153. She's the Graduate!

154. And she's trying to get me to release her!

155. No.

156. Aww, why not, Kei-kun?

157. Because you're a bad actress!

158. I'm gonna squeeze your balls till they explode, you little bitch.

159. Leave this room and you'll never go back.

160. I'll burn it all down and trap you here forever.

161. You'll be stuck here with me till the end of time.

162. But you don't want that. You wanna get outta here.

163. Want me to help?

164. Then get this pesky rope off me, now!

165. Y'know, I like men who finish the job quick.

166. If things get gnarly, use these to stay safe.

167. Ow!

168. Aww, honey, you're no fun.

169. Boys who don't listen get punished 'round here.

170. You'll be like this soon, too!

171. Wh-what's happening to me?

172. It's already started. Won't be long now.

173. I'm gonna be like that?

174. Want it to go away?

175. Want to do something before this room goes up in flames?

176. Then c'mon...

177. If you don't hurry up, we'll both be goners.

178. The spirit stopped here.

179. I hear Keitaro.

180. Kei-kun is in there.

181. C'mon, hurry.

182. O-okay!

183. There's a good boy.

184. You should've just done this from the beginning.

185. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, ASSHOLE?

186. Her hand stopped me!

187. If I strengthen her seal, everything that's her doing will disappear!

188. Just a little more!

189. Switch with me!

190. Please, not now!

191. Please, not now!

192. Just in case.

193. It's gone!

194. It's gone!

195. That was Kei-kun.

196. Kei-kun? Is this you?

197. Please, Kei-kun, don't do this.

198. We could do something so much more fun.

199. Please?

200. DON'T INSULT EIKO LIKE THIS!

201. SHE'S NOT A SLUT LIKE YOU!

202. A slut? A slut?

203. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO YOU'RE INSULTING?

204. Kei-kun!

205. Kei-kun! Keitaro!

206. Eiko? Yayoi-chan?

207. I'm back!

208. A-are you okay? You're hurt!

209. I'm fine. It's not as bad as it looks.

210. You've got her.

211. You did a great job, all by yourself, too.

212. I had some help in the end.

213. Things weren't looking good for me,

214. but Eiko's helping hand literally saved me.

215. I-I had no idea what I was doing.

216. The curse must've connected us or something.

217. I'm just glad you're okay.

218. Eiko... Thanks. I owe you.

219. Sure.

220. Okay, we've got Keitaro back and the doll we came for.

221. Let's head out.

222. Roger that!

223. I learned in history class that courtesans

224. were pretty talented women.

225. I'm sure you were one of them, too.

226. But my girlfriend's pretty damn incredible.

227. With that out of the way,

228. let's get to business.

229. I forgot.

230. All that work,

231. but it wasn't even the main thing we were after...

232. We're headed off to an S-Rank haunt,

233. the Old I Watergate.

234. Let's ghoooo...

235. ooost!

236. Wait a sec!

237. We're not waiting!

238. Nope!

239. Oh, come on!

240. Is it okay to leave the rest of the hotel's ghosts there?

241. They seemed like they wanted to get out of there,

242. and they attacked me, so they could go after someone else...

243. It's totally okay.

244. They only attacked us 'cause we messed with them.

245. A while back, when I first found the secret room,

246. I also found some ghosts that harbored particularly strong grudges.

247. They were torturing the gang members who had killed them... and locking them in a closet.

248. One they're all dead, the ghosts should pass on.

249. I'm fine with that. It's what they deserve.

250. But you said they attacked you. What'd they do to you?

251. Well, it's gonna sound crazy, but one of them tried to switch places with me.

252. Switch places with you?

253. Yeah, like, literally.

254. The second it touched me, the spirit was in my body, and I'd turned into the spirit.

255. But when I knocked its hand away, I went back to normal.

256. Keitaro, do you remember what day it was we met?

257. Huh? April 1st, why?

258. That's right. And that means you're you and not a ghost.

259. Wha-?

260. Oh, God. The spirit could've been in control of him this whole time.

261. Uh-huh. That's why I had to check if our memories matched up.

262. And if we'd switched, I would've been dead.

263. Now that I'm thinking it over, that whole situation was really messed up...

264. That spirit would be pretending to be me, acting as if nothing was wrong...

265. That reminds me of a similar story I read online.

266. A man and his son were spending the night in their car after it broke down on a mountain road.

267. The father was keeping watch on his son while he slept, and was just about to pass out,

268. when he spotted something coming towards them.

269. He was too shocked to react or even scream.

270. The white creature did nothing to them, just went past the car...

271. But just when the man thought they were safe...

272. He looked over at his son.

273. "Get the hell away from my son!"

274. The moment he yelled out...

275. "I'm in! I'm in! I'm in! I'm in!"

276. He rushed down the mountain to bring his son to a temple,

277. but the priest said if 49 days passed and nothing changed,

278. he would be stuck like that forever.

279. I'm in! I'm in! I'm in! I'm in!

280. It kind of reminds me of how you describe getting "switched."

281. I remember Keitaro's grandma saying something similar about her dolls, too.

282. Must be something that can happen, then.

283. Now that we know about it, though, we can prepare to counter it.

284. Uh-huh.

285. Spirits and humans, switching... That means evil spirits could walk amongst us, pretending to be human.

286. So... how would you tell the difference?

287. Strangers search for a stolen relic, unbeknownst to Yayoi and the team.

288. Both head to the Old I Watergate to fulfill their own purposes.

289. Waiting for them there is a forlorn boy, casting a shadow in the twilight.
