Chapters 2–4: The Trap, the Separation, and the Breaking Point

Momo Is Deceived and Isolated

After leaving the hospital to find proper medicine for Okarun, Momo encounters what appears to be a helpless, injured girl. Believing the girl is in need of help, Momo instinctively approaches—but the girl suddenly runs away. Concerned and determined, Momo follows her, unaware that she is being drawn farther away from Okarun and Aira. What seems like a chance encounter slowly reveals itself as a carefully laid trap, designed to isolate her from the others.

Chapter 2 unfolds this deception as part of the tentacle monster’s calculated plan to isolate and weaken its targets. By luring Momo away under the guise of rescuing a helpless, injured girl, the monster preys on her empathy and sense of responsibility. Momo’s pursuit, driven by genuine concern, leads her farther from Okarun and Aira with each step, and the setting grows increasingly ominous—yet she remains unaware of the danger she is walking into. The separation is not accidental; it is a deliberate strategy to dismantle their unity and exploit their vulnerability. Momo’s kind intentions are gradually turned against her, as what began as an act of compassion becomes the very path that leaves her exposed. The slow realization never arrives in time—her trust is used as a weapon, and without ever being physically attacked, she finds herself exactly where the monster wants her to be.

In Chapter 3, the girl’s transformation begins. It becomes clear that she has been overtaken by the monster’s power, her body changing into something monstrous and uncontrollable. Momo tries to defend herself, but a moment of hesitation prevents her from taking decisive action. This delay allows the creature to overpower her. After the girl is fully consumed, Momo becomes the next target and is ultimately captured—signaling the beginning of a far more harrowing struggle.

A Crisis Inside the Hospital

Meanwhile, back at the hospital, Okarun’s condition rapidly deteriorates. In Chapter 4, the temporary remedy Momo provided earlier has lost its effect. Despite her own injuries, Aira realizes they are running out of time. She proposes a more drastic measure to ease Okarun’s suffering. Tension continues to rise, especially as Momo’s whereabouts remain unknown.

At the same time, Momo continues to fight against the tentacle monster, whose power keeps increasing. The physical and emotional toll pushes her to the edge of her limits. Chapter 4 becomes a critical point in the story, where each character is forced to make difficult choices under escalating pressure.
