He reaches the ledge and stops just short of falling off, but Lewis comes up behind him and dangles him over the ledge. Arthur runs toward the split path they found before, but the Dead Beats block the lower path, forcing Arthur to run along the upper path. Arthur falls through blackness and lands in a ghostly recreation of the cavern where Lewis died. Meanwhile, Arthur awakens just as Lewis tosses him in the back of his truck. Mystery, worried about Vivi, starts to change into his kitsune form. Vivi holds her back with the bat but Shiromori soon gains the upper hand, knocking the bat from Vivi's hands. Growing enraged, she conjures a pair of shears and lunges at Vivi. Shiromori suddenly looks at Vivi and sees a resemblance between her and the female warrior who fought Mystery. Shiromori lunges at Mystery with her scissors, but Vivi stops her by hitting her head with the metal bat.
Lewis reaches Arthur in the van, who has been knocked unconscious from the crash, while Mystery tries to drag the slowly awakening Vivi to safety as Shiromori draws nearer. Later, a female warrior in blue meets Mystery in the forest and engages him in combat. Shiromori's flashbacks show Mystery in his kitsune form dripping his blood on a white flower, which apparently grows into a white forest. In Lewis's story, Arthur sulkily watches his and Vivi's relationship from a distance and (Lewis presumes) pushes him to his death out of jealousy. As Lewis exits the truck and Shiromori pops out of the ground, their backstories are revealed in flashes. Upon looking out and seeing Lewis's truck, he grabs a shotgun off the wall and cocks it. The van flies off the road and crashes besides the repair shop owned by Arthur's uncle Lance, who is jolted awake inside. As the van begins to swerve, Shiromori flies off and lands on the road behind it. Behind them, Lewis uses spectral fire to blow out one of the van's tires.
As she clings to the front of the van, she breaks through the windshield and stabs at Mystery with her scissors. She burrows ahead of them and pops up in front of the van, which hits her. Meanwhile, Shiromori's petals land on the road, and Shiromori herself pops up in time to see the two vehicles speeding away. The van speeds through a tunnel, but the truck manages to pass through as well by turning into a ball of spectral fire. Vivi wakes up and looks groggily out the back window, but is knocked unconscious by a metal baseball bat. As Lewis reaches the van, Arthur manages to restart it and speed off. He hits the dashboard with his prosthetic arm in frustration, but the ghost energy shorts his arm out as well. Panicking, he tries unsuccessfully to restart the van. Arthur briefly sees an image of Lewis in the rear-view mirror and turns to see Lewis's truck drawing closer. Sometime later, ghostly energy similar to that seen at the beginning of Ghost crackles from the van's radio, causing the van to short out again. He then starts the van and drives off into the night, unaware that more of Shiromori's flower petals are following the van. Arthur sees Mystery looking worriedly at the petal from Shiromori's flower and nervously reaches over to pet him. Arthur finishes working on the Mystery Skulls Van and gets back in the driver's seat, while Vivi sleeps in the back.
