Yuzuki is not who she claimed to be. I now know that her sister lived in the Tokyo house, but this murder mystery is far from solved. In fact, it's only getting stranger and more disturbing. After Yuzuki tells Kurihara and me about the tragedy that occurred just a week before her sister's disappearance, I realize there's only one path forward--we must visit the house where her cousin was murdered.

Two years after the Katabuchi family incident, I find myself back at Kurihara's, eleven new floor plans in hand. At first glance, the houses seem completely unrelated, yet we can't deny that something uncanny connects them. One thing in particular stands out--a hallway that leads to nowhere. Could this be the key that unlocks the mystery of these eleven new strange houses?
