Ep. 9: Nijimi confronts Kaname at Sayuki's home while Asahi and Kiyoharu face magical control

9

At Sayuki's residence, Nijimi discovers Kaname's true nature after he commands her to hang herself. Asahi, possessed by Kiyoharu, intervenes to save her. A prior command forces Nijimi to strangle Asahi, allowing Kaname to order Asahi to eliminate her controller. Kosame attempts to heal Kiyoharu, but Aya uses a magical artifact when her blood proves insufficient. Kaname arrives at the house with the controlled Nijimi. Kiyoharu breaks the magic, freeing Nijimi, who blames herself for the deception and attacks Kaname. He strikes her with Sayuki's katana. Nijimi recalls her father's suicide due to debt before regaining consciousness. She severely injures Kaname's neck with a broken crystal bottle. An invisible entity stops Kaname, but Nijimi succumbs to her wounds.
