Ep. 2: Disaster Awakening Chapter One: Playing Tag

2

In June 1983, the club plays zombie tag and encounters Irie, Tomitake, and Takano, who reveal the yearly murders called Oyashiro-sama's Curse. Keiichi accepts his friends' secrecy without resentment, but Rika remains unconvinced and becomes increasingly depressed as the Watanagashi Festival nears. Her anxiety intensifies when Satoko repeats a phrase previously spoken by Keiichi during the Atonement arc of season one. This specific dialogue adds to the growing sense of dread surrounding the upcoming festival events and the characters' underlying fears.
