Dr. Ozaki tries to tell the townspeople the truth but is laughed off by the villagers believing that he is overworked at the clinic. He then tries to gather evidence to inform the outside world of what is occurring only to find that the Shiki have taken control of the local government and have altered all records so that no one has died in the town on paper. Demoralized and exhausted Dr. Ozaki smokes outside his clinic when Natsuno appears and tells him that he is not alone.
