Hana and Keishin discuss what they’ve learned about the children. Hana feels ashamed of her family, but Keishin encourages her to focus on their quest. They now know that the children are buried under a field, which is where the Shiikuin imprisoned Chiyo. They travel to the Library of the Lost to ask Hiroko about the field’s location. Hiroko explains that she visited the field once when her father brought the first “soulless” child there. She watched from a distant temple as he buried the child. She doesn’t want to share its location because she wants to erase this memory.

Keishin silently asks Ramesh what he thinks about Hiroko’s story. Ramesh suggests that Hiroko already gave them enough information for them to locate the children. Keishin shares these thoughts with Hana. They find a map that reveals the field’s location to them and then wait for a train to take them there. A woman at the station suggests that they travel to the field on a rumor instead of waiting for a train.
