I had a pit in my stomach this ENTIRE episode. You could just feel something was very off, but you didn't know if the writers were really going to take it there. The moment of the betrayal hits you hard with all kinds of emotions and brings true anime horror vibes!

The pacing in this chapter is insane; it keeps you glued to the story. Adding the element of finding those ancient records makes it even more suspenseful, driving you to desperately want to decipher the secrets and curiosities hidden within the mountain.

Episode Context

Episode 7 marks the midpoint descent into emotional complexity. Yoshiki and Hikaru step outside their usual routine, sharing what appears to be an ordinary day together, skipping school, catching a movie, existing in each other's space. But this is Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu, so nothing ordinary stays comfortable for long. Beneath the surface-level warmth runs a current of dread and unresolved tension, particularly after the escalation in Episode 6. The pacing here is deliberately slow, almost tender, giving weight to quiet gestures and loaded silences between the two leads. Expect an introspective episode that leans more into psychological horror than shock, exploring trust, identity, and the terrifying vulnerability of choosing to stay close to someone you're not sure you know anymore. The title says it all, something decisive is taking shape.
