[BLIND LET'S PLAY]
Having completed the entirety of the rest of the game in the last episode, Neosekken finds himself unlocking the epilogue chapter, "Blood Drive." Starting it up Neo finds himself in the perspective of Naomi once again, who is attempting to try and get in touch with Seiko's family to try and ask them about her, but is hesitating to do so out of fear that her fears of Seiko's family having completely forgotten her will be confirmed. Just as it looks like she's worked up the nerve to try, Naomi is stopped by Ayumi, who urges her not to go through with it, causing Naomi to break down in tears.
Taking Naomi away from Seiko's former home, Ayumi brings attention to a rather interesting contradiction on what they currently know of their friends' current erasure from the mortal world: that SOME people still have some record of their existence still intact instead of being entirely gone as a result of having died in Heavenly Host, namely of Naho Saenoki and her group. If everyone who dies in a location like Heavenly Host is fated to be spirited away and have any record of their existence erased, how can traces of Naho and her group still be left intact? This isn't the only clue that indicates that something isn't adding up when it comes to their understanding of the fates of Heavenly Host's victims, but this by far is the biggest clue that sticks out to everyone, Neo included.
With all the clues pointing to a possible way to reverse the effects of their friends' erasure from the world, Ayumi proposes to Naomi that they, right there and then, on the spot, that they both travel to one location the former thinks is most likely to provide the answers to all the questions being raised: the Shinozaki Estate that is located a ways away in the countryside. Understandably, Naomi is very reluctant with this idea considering what they already went through with Heavenly Host, but eventually Ayumi convinces her to go through with the idea... causing Neo to start considering a host (no pun intended) of possibilities as to how a sudden, impromptu trip to a location connected with the family and supernatural forces behind them that already caused them so much suffering and misery, with absolutely ZERO preperation having been made beforehand for such a trip and absolutely ZERO intention to get themselves more people who could help them to come with them so they can increase their chances of success (because apparently this is something that JUST CAN'T WAIT), can POSSIBLY go wrong.
And so begins the impromptu journey of Ayumi, Naomi and Neo to the Shinozaki estate located in the nearby countryside... and, in Neo's mind, the inevitable tragedy that's awaiting them at the end of it...
