Ep. 12: Maki receives a kitten from Chisato but encounters a shinma in an abandoned house garden.

12

Maki is grieving the loss of his kitten when Chisato finds a new one and gives it to him. Although he initially refuses, he accepts the pet and visits an abandoned house. There, he meets a mysterious woman who absorbs the kitten’s spirit into a white rose within a garden of feline spirits. Maki argues that cats should remain free rather than be bound to flowers. This displeases the woman, who transforms into the shinma Ko-Jyoh and attempts to absorb Maki’s spirit. Miyu intervenes by burning the garden and banishing Ko-Jyoh. She then puts Maki into an eternal sleep, causing him to care for an imaginary kitten.
