Oniakashi[]
Rena greets Keiichi as the latter heads to their usual meetup spot. Keiichi comments on Rena waiting here so early and that she is allowed to sleep in every so often. Rena says she can't keep him waiting. Keiichi says if Rena ever did that, he'd leave without her.
Rena suddenly yells that he's lying, creeping out Keiichi as she says that he would never do that and would wait forever and ever. Rena then smiles and says she believes in him.
Watakashi[]
Inside the Sonozaki torture chamber, Mion speaks to an imprisoned Keiichi and tells him to stay in here for a while. If it becomes bad, Keiichi can just play the victim and act like Mion forced him in there. Mion says she loves Keiichi and will protect him, turning away and preparing to head out with a gun. Keiichi tells her to wait and starts ramming into the cell door.
Keiichi actually breaks out of the cell and falls to the floor, dumbfounding Mion.
Tatariakashi[]
In the Sea of Fragments, the human and witch sides of Satoko clash, with the human rejecting her other self and asking for Satoko to be returned to her. The witch claims she is the real Satoko and kicks her to the ground, then aims her gun at her.
A gunshot rings out, but the witch Satoko suddenly finds herself strapped to a chair in the human world, where the club has prepared an assortment of pumpkin food items as a punishment game. The witch cries out in despair and asks for Satoko to be returned to her. The human Satoko relishes her victory with a single trap, with Eua also appreciating the sight.
Kagurashi[]
Satoko and Rika face off inside the ritual storehouse, with Rika using the Onigari-no-ryuuou fragment, Hanyuu's last gift, to slice Satoko's neck. Rika uses the fragment to obtain a superpowered shrine maiden form, and Satoko does the same using the rest of the Onigari-no-ryuuou, commenting that the kitchen knives at home are too dull.
Satoko and Rika smile as they use the Onigari-no-ryuuou to slice some meat, advertising it for sale as the "Oyashiro Kitchen Knife". Hanyuu watches in confusion since her gift's not supposed to be used like that. Eua is amused.
