Yuki, Shigure, and Hatori accompany Tohru to the Sohma main residence to see Akito. After an initially meek exchange, Akito seizes her by her hair in a rage after Tohru is unable to say why she came, but Yuki and Shigure restrain him from hurting her further.
However, she begins to feel sympathetic, explaining that he still has a life to live. Releasing her hair from his hand, Akito eventually realizes that Tohru accepts the Sohma family curse.
Do you think you can lift the Sohma curse? Do you?

It feels like such a long time since we last saw each other, doesn't it?
„
~ Akito to Yuki
“
Why did you skip the New Year's banquet? Why would you think to do a thing? I've been quite tolerant lately, have I not? And the fact that you would do something like that...
„
~ Akito to Yuki
“
Perhaps... I need to take some time to re-educate you... in that little room. The one I keep especially for you...
„
~ Akito to Yuki
“
Do you think you could go against me and not pay the price?
„
~ Akito to Yuki
“
She is probably the ugliest girl I've even seen... ...and she's not too bright either... I doubt I have anything to worry about from a girl like that. Yuki won't be interested in her for long... And he won't be able to go against me for much longer, not if he wants to be happy... After all, it's obvious that Yuki is still terrified when he sees me... I think he remembers where his true loyalties lies...
„
~ Akito to Shigure
“
I will make you regret... you ever had anything to do with the Sohmas!
„
~ Akito to Tohru
“
I was born in order to die... That's what was decided.

~ Akito Sohma
“
I want you to erase this girl's memory! Do it! Now! Hatori!
