Later down the lines, Katsumi fell into a heavy depression and skipped school to go to a forbidden place. Ayaka would worry about her sister but never felt the courage to say anything. when it was revealed that Katsumi was going to a forbidden place, the village people made the village security to make sure that Katsumi doesn't head out of the village. A while later, Katsumi felt strangely sick and wanted to stay home but she went to school anyway. There, she discovered her blood powers and accidentally made a person bleed.

Katsumi grabbed Ayaka and ran home. Upon arriving home, the girls found their mother slaughtered in her bed and they froze in shock. The members of the village busted into the door and saw Layla, assuming the girls killed her.
