Meakashi-hen (目明し編, Eye Opening Chapter), is the first answer arc in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai, released on December 30, 2004. It follows Himatsubushi-hen and precedes Tsumihoroboshi-hen. Meakashi-hen follows the life of Sonozaki Shion and her psychotic behavior caused by the loss of the person she loves, Hōjō Satoshi.
Plot
Sonozaki Shion escapes from her private school to return to Hinamizawa. During her time there, she meets Satoshi, who protected her from a group of thugs. She also begins borrowing her twin sister Sonozaki Mion's identity, eventually taking over her life as her paranoia increases. This arc reveals that because Mion and Shion switched occasionally, Shion (Mion) was given the demon tattoo instead of Mion (Shion).
