EPISODE CONTEXT

Following 'Quantum Barrier,' where the cadets had their first unsettling brush with the Ghoul threat, 'Necromancer' pulls focus inward, using the aftermath of that encounter to excavate Misaki's latent abilities and what they might mean for the larger mystery. It occupies a crucial middle position — bridging the raw shock of the Ghoul's introduction with the deeper questions the series is beginning to raise. The episode feeds directly into 'Specular,' laying groundwork for how the cadets' understanding of the threat, and of each other, continues to fracture and evolve.
