Additionally, a present campaign for an autographed script was started just before the episode first aired! (Please note: applications from outside Japan are currently unavailable).
【Episode 14 “to be/not to be”】
Hizuru and Haine used to be friends with each other. However, one day, Haine couldn’t stand the “hunger” any longer and went on a rampage.
It became clear through a series of past events that Ryuunosuke was able to live through Hizuru.
Shinpei and Ushio, who were within Hizuru’s memories, returned to the point in time right before entering the Kobayakawa residence.
They decided to cancel that plan, and that night Shinpei gathered Sou and the others at Hitogashima Elementary and Junior High School. Using Ushio’s power, Shinpei decides to give everyone a chance to experience the events of the loop using Ushio’s power.
