This is book #2 from "The Ring Trilogy" written by Koji Suzuki.

I'm a bit confused...maybe it was because I read it too fast...or my eyes are just deceiving me...

What is the "charm" they had to perform so they could all be spared from death?
I know Asakawa (from the first novel, Ring) wrote "The Ring" and his ass brother published it as his own, and that Mai Takano died because she gave birth to Sadako...
And I know the events that happened at the end too...but WHAT is the actual charm they all have to have done to be spared from death? Do all the women ovulating whilst watching the film give birth to Sadako and die? What about the men and children?

Just if you are wondering, these novels are based on the Japanese Horror film "The Ring" and "The Ring II" (aka Ringu and Rasen). These novels DO NOT APPLY to the American remake nor the manga.

Thanks for your time
