夏野把清水惠的明信片撕成碎片，丢在清水惠经常偷看他的窗前，清水惠看到后哭着捡起来。 死亡还在不断增加，敏夫变得憔悴焦躁，室井静信把自己这几天走访的结果跟敏夫谈了一下，敏夫认为静信的调查毫无意义，而对他发了很大的火。晚上桐敷沙子又来找静信，两人讨论了死亡的话题。夏野翻阅了大量有关吸血鬼的书籍和电影。武藤彻的弟弟武藤保告诉夏野由于村子里有土葬的习俗，所以村子里流传着关于“醒尸”的传说。

Natsuno investigates local stories of the "Risen" after seeing that someone had disturbed the torn-up pieces of Megumi's letter he threw out. Meanwhile, Masao's brother Hiromi has died of the same mysterious causes, and Masao is bedridden with peculiar bite wounds.

Seishin meets with Dr. Ozaki with his findings, but Dr. Ozaki yells at him over his own frustration with not being to help his patients. Later, Dr. Ozaki notices that most patients with symptoms of the epidemic have "insect bite wounds" on them, and has some success when he performs a blood transfusion on Gyouda Etsuko and she is able to return home. However she later dies after she does not report to the clinic for a follow-up.

Natsuno asks Dr. Ozaki if there was any possibility that Megumi might not have been dead, to which Dr. Ozaki responds jokingly that she would be a zombie or a vampire. This starts Dr. Ozaki thinking that maybe this isn't an epidemic...

増え続ける死。手詰まりの敏夫は怒りをあらわにする。

静信の持って来た情報にも、礼を言うどころか暴言を投げつける有様だ。

夏野はある仮説を胸に秘め、ビデオや書物を調べはじめる。

そして何げなくした保との会話から、あるキーワードに辿り着く。「起き上がり」だ。

Natsuno investiga histórias locais de "Ressuscitado" depois de ver que alguém havia perturbado os pedaços rasgados da carta de Megumi que ele jogou fora. Enquanto isso, o irmão de Masao, Hiromi, morreu pelas mesmas causas misteriosas, e Masao está acamado com feridas de mordida peculiares.

La revivida Megumi recoge las piezas rotas de su postal a Natsuno y está triste y enojada por el tratamiento de Natsuno hacia ella. Natsuno confirma que Megumi vino a su casa y jura que no morirá tan fácilmente.
