Aired on March 7, 2016
After classmates describe the urban legend of the Handshake Men, Haruko dismisses the tale as nonsense. She and her sister Naomi return to school late to retrieve a forgotten notebook, encountering a suspicious janitor who questions their presence. On the walk home, Haruko begins to doubt her skepticism when she is approached by a man requesting a handshake. Recalling the story, she complies and flees with Naomi. They subsequently shake hands with a police officer and a third man, but Haruko soon realizes Naomi has disappeared. Terrified that she has encountered the fourth man, she is grabbed by a hand, only to face a creature with a giant mouth ready to bite her off.
