    The utterly lost ghost disappears into a wall. Later, he comes back with a certain look on his face.
  2. From a doll to a ghost.
    The doll stares at bloodstains on the tatami floor.
    The doll turns away from the bloodstains. Suddenly, the doll’s feet catch fire. It had become a ghost.
  3. REPEAT (1) .
    After he reappears with a certain look on his face, the ghost becomes a different ghost which is on horseback. Then a ghost made of scabs at the ruins of a fire.
    Then a ghost called Ubume, who hides her stillborn baby behind her hair. The ghost is transformed back into the person made of pieces of dry dirt. Again, it has returned to being a ghost. The ghost wearing high-heels walk over a swamp.
