The ghost of Asami Yamazaki haunted the tormented man who had so deeply betrayed her trust while also toying with her fragile emotions as well. She gave him the most sorrowful of dreams and he often awoke to the sound of her mournful voice calling out to him in despair. No longer could he focus on daily and seemingly mundane activities, for the painful memory of what happened that dreadful day had taken a devastating toll upon his sanity. Though partly crippled by Asami's violent actions before she died, he somehow understood what drove her to such desperate resorts. Despite greatly admiring his son for defending himself from almost certain death, Aoyama still felt extreme guilt and sadness for Asami's unfortunate demise. Over time his appetite all but vanished, as the very noticeable weight loss reduced him to merely little more than a skeleton. Constantly he fantasized about this beautiful Asian woman who no longer existed in the living world of humans, until at last he saw, or at least imagined seeing her ghostly form hovering above those steps which she had so tragically fallen from, and using a walking cane he slowly hobbled over to where she now stood. Bringing himself fully upright, Aoyama suddenly heard a voice behind him then turned to see Asami standing only a few feet away. She was crying, beckoning him to join her in the afterlife. Her weeping was too much to bear, and finally he moved closer until the avenging entity's outstretched arms brought him forever into the eternal abyss of darkness with her!

The next morning his son found Aoyama's dead body at the bottom of the stairs, no doubt exactly where Asami's life expired all those months ago, but the expression of sheer terror on the older man's face told the true story of her wicked and deceptive ways, as if Aoyama realized too late that Asami had indeed fulfilled a certain promise made much earlier, by telling him to never leave her side no matter what! The deceased man's broken neck was the very same fatal injury which she herself suffered before dying, but only Asami would decide whether or not his son lived or perished, although chances were she'd keep him alive for as long as possible, slowly driving him insane until forcing him to take his final breath.
