Reina's family
Her parents' divorce caused Lena to lose a stable family life. When her father encountered new troubles, she did not want to lose her place again and chose to personally eliminate the threat. The consequences of this operation could not be borne by her alone.
After the partner found out,
Keiichi and the others learn of Reina's crimes and decide to bear the consequences together, agreeing to continue facing her as friends. Keeping secrets together did not dispell her fears; The subsequent strange phenomena led her to associate the people around her with the legend of the Osha deity.
Notes and memories
The clip-on notes left by Takano Sanshi provided Reina with another explanation. Keiichi also begins to recall the tragedy he once experienced. The story juxtaposes Reina's current fears with the issues left from previous chapters, and asks if friends can reconnect amid distrust.
Position in the Solution section
This chapter is placed after the 'Muming Chapter' and before the 'Kill All Chapters'. The old English version of MangaGamer was released on April 15, 2010, and later included in the collection of answers from chapters five to eight; The old English release and subsequent Hou retranslations should be recorded separately.
Included in 'Cui'
This story is included in PS3/Vita's Higurashi When They Cry and is part of its nineteen-story collection, offering full voice and cross-platform archives.
The story of the latest version begins
Rena makes a sad decision due to family misfortune, and Keiichi and his club partners agree to support her after learning about it. Guilt and inexplicable phenomena continue to shake her trust in her friends.
Reina killed two people
The incident threatening Reina's family involved Teppei and Rina's beauty trap. Reina killed two people to protect her father. After the incident was exposed to her club mates, she had to face the consequences of the murders while continuing to interpret her new experiences as someone being persecuted her.
Alternating viewpoints and reddened text
The original PC alternately described the subjective experiences of Reina and Keiichi, but their judgments on the same situation were not consistent. When Reina's fear increases, the text gradually changes from slightly red to bright red; The Bunku adaptation further stained some layouts and even entire pages red.
The decisive battle between the school and the rooftop
After blindly trusting Takano's clipped notes, Reina took classmates hostage at school. During the school's offense and defense, Satoko handed Satoshi's metal bat to Keiichi; In the end, Keiichi and Reina fought on the rooftop and advised her to seek help from her partners when in danger, pain, or doubt.
Lihua redecided to resist
TIPS 'Falling in Love with Rain Clouds' depicts Rika once recognized as a tragedy, but the situation repeats. Keiichi initially trusts her companions and changes the course of events in this arc, causing her to reconsider the outcome she foresaw in resistance.
After the disaster in the demonic script
TIPS: 'The Devil's Script' pushes time forward by more than twenty years. Akasaka revisited Hinamizawa and saw that Onigabuchi Marsh was already covered with thick concrete. The incident was concluded as a volcanic gas disaster, but Akasaka also pointed out that the marsh closure prevented subsequent investigations from re-examining the scene.
