Story
After rescuing Yu-ichi from the Amami Float, the protagonist and Nemissa head to Six's apartment to check on him. Just like with Tomoko, they find him at his computer in a catatonic state after playing Paradigm X. Seeing the VR Haunted Mansion on his screen, they proceed to the theater to find him. After entering the mansion, a group of attendants narrates the tour of the mansion, describing this as a tale of a boy named Shingo. As they proceed through the various rooms, they see visions from Six's childhood, showing his sister Erika. In the final memory scene, they see a despondant young Shingo near a stairway, seemingly upset over breaking a "doll." As the conversation continues, it becomes apparent that he accidentally killed Erika.

Climbing to the top of a tower, they find Six seated in a chair with an apparition of Erika standing next him. Intent on protecting him, "Erika" attacks the party. Nemissa realizes that isn't isn't really his sister, but rather a demon born from Six's repressed guilt over the accident years. After banishing the apparition, Six recovers, and realizes that he had forgotten about the incident, and vows to not forget about his deceased sister.
