Part 2/7:
The story kicks off with two buses packed with schoolgirls driving down a secluded highway. Amidst cheerfulness, we meet Mitsuko, a solitary girl who finds solace in writing poetry. Her world is dramatically shattered when a mysterious gust of wind slices through the buses, decimating her friends and leaving her in a state of shock.
As Mitsuko escapes the devastation, she encounters the haunting aftermath, including washed-up bodies along the riverbank. This gruesome imagery serves as an allegory for the violence and isolation faced by individuals who step outside societal norms, particularly women like Mitsuko, thrust into a world of horror.
