The Disappearance of Rinko.

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

I reached a building Erika suggested and recovered KK's case files before encountering a psychic trail of Rinko. After witnessing Rinko being abducted by a mysterious woman from the hospital, the world shifted into a surreal nightmare. I pursued Rinko's fading vision through a distorted version of the neighborhood.

So after absorbing some spirits around the area to build up my strength, I went for the building that Erika showed me on the map. It looked like something terrible had happened there, with the atmosphere feeling heavy and the entrance looking completely neglected.

After getting inside the lobby, the first thing I found were some of KK's old case files sitting on a dusty desk. He asked me to keep them close as they could be useful for understanding the supernatural threats we were facing.

When I was climbing the stairs of the building to reach the higher floors, I found the balcony area completely blocked. I stood back and used my powers to cleanse the area. The path was finally clear, allowing us to proceed toward the apartment where the disturbance was strongest.

KK mentioned that this was definitely the place we were looking for, and Akito understood that something felt very off about the air in the hallway. I took a deep breath and went inside this door, ready for whatever was waiting on the other side.

In that apartment, I found a glowing psychic trail that I interacted with to see what had happened recently. I found a shadow of Rinko sitting on the floor feeding a cat, but there was someone else standing in the shadows behind her.

Akito mentioned that he remembered this someone from the hospital as she was clearly with the Hannya group. The vision became clearer, and she was shown grabbing Rinko. It was a terrifying realization that the enemy was already one step ahead of us and had been monitoring Rinko's movements.

Akito mentioned they must have taken Rinko when she came here looking for Erika earlier. I had to look for her now and eventually found her vision in a distorted part of the apartment.

I watched as Rinko was shifting into that Hannya lady and then both of them disappeared.

The whole place changed for me as well, as if the physical world was being overwritten by a nightmare. I noticed a massive cat and the whole neighborhood looked totally different. It was a surreal landscape that defied all logic, and I had to find my bearings in this new reality.

I started looking for Rinko and I saw her from afar through the haze, but she couldn't hold the Hannya's influence for long. So I kept on that trail and I had to cleanse and clear my path on the way to reach her.

When I was moving toward her to pull her back, the whole place shifted into something even stranger. It looked exactly like the visions Akito had been seeing every now and then, where time and space seemed to collapse into a single point of chaos.

We'll continue in another post.
