EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at the exact halfway mark of the 12-episode run, Episode 6 acts as the emotional fulcrum of the season, building directly on the turmoil Tenka faced in Episode 5 and forcing the Kumou family to reckon with its consequences. This is a pivotal turning point that deepens the supernatural and personal stakes simultaneously, transitioning the series from its setup phase into the more complex and revelation-heavy back half. Everything established in the first five episodes converges here, and the groundwork laid will clearly drive the escalating conflicts of Episodes 7 through 12.
