Ai shows Yuzuki her childhood. As a little girl, Yuzuki lived happily with her parents, until her father, a bus driver, died in a bus crash due to faulty brakes. The town accused the Mikage family of murder. Yuzuki's mother fell ill and the doctor refused to see her due to the stigmatization. With her mother close to death and Yuzuki starving, her mother planned to kill her so Yuzuki wouldn't suffer. However, she died in her sleep, and Yuzuki buried her mother, her eyes turning red. She died embracing the teddy bear her father gave her. The older Yuzuki now realises the corpse is hers. Angry that the world abandoned her, she accepts her fate as Hell Girl. Akie returns as Yuzuki's aid. A request with Azusa's name comes in - Yuzuki's first summoning as Hell Girl.
