We also get to see how Jiro's mother has been painting Oni paintings on the walls of her room and they are of the insane variety. The dad decides the paintings are bad and smashes the walls of the hospital down with a sledgehammer. As he smashes them, the world the Jiro team are in, starts to collapse and everything blows up.
