The narrator introduces a new species of beings that mix into the crowd of humans comfortably, eat human flesh, and pretend to be like people, making the two existences very different. Hinami Fueguchi and Ayato Kirishima are seen affiliated with each other, and Kanae, an ally of Tsukiyama, is in despair, pitying Tsukiyama’s situation. The mysterious grotesque creatures mentioned earlier by the narrator are revealed to be called ‘ghouls.’
