EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at the one-third mark of the series, Episode 8 directly processes the physical transformation fallout from Episode 7, pivoting from body horror into existential crisis territory. Shinichi's arc is transitioning from reactive survival into something deeper — a fundamental questioning of what he's becoming — while Shimada's presence seeds complications that will ripple through upcoming episodes. This is a critical bridge chapter that trades momentum for the emotional and thematic groundwork necessary for the confrontations ahead.
