For one thing, Yonaka hasn't always worn that hat. It might be familiar to some and not to others, but even those who don't recognize it as the scalp of a Mogeko will be able to detect the smell of blood.

She can be found anywhere Yonaka could be found before - her room, cleaning the bathhouse, eating prosciutto - or simply wandering the island in something like a fog.
After all... they still have a debt to pay, don't they? It comes with the body.]
