## Synopsis

Flashback
The older child affirms to themself that they are special, according to 'sensei.' They are special within the pack and to everyone. To themself, they affirm that 'the girl' is special; the girl is the smallest of everyone as well as their little sister. The child muses that *sensei* will not let them eat meat until they grow up, due to it upsetting their stomachs, so they eat the same meals that *sensei* feeds them daily. The child does not care overmuch if they are special, since everyone "gets along."

At an unspecified time, the adults who eat *sensei*'s druggie feed "lose their minds:" they begin fighting each other to fatal degrees. Shocked at the sight of family fighting, the child grabs their little sister and with her escapes into the vents, filled with frustration at their circumstances. Kuon Higuro had told them they could become special—but when? The child silently tells the absent Higuro that they want to become special.

Present
In the stairwell, Corpse God processes the fact that Lemmings has appeared amidst the werewolves—and furthermore, two werewolves are among the group accompanying Sayo Shinoyama. He glances back at Katashiro, concerned about exposing his true nature, then bolsters his resolve; he remarks to Katashiro that tonight is perfectly attuned toward hallucinations. Katashiro internally questions Corpse God's remarks while imagining how Phantom Solitaire would respond, then responds amiably: the weather forecaster, he says, predicted that today will be full of hallucinations.

Having been greenlighted, Corpse God activates his magic and is surprised that his magic is not as drained as he thought it was. Framrodia Byandiraz privately wonders whether Corpse God has not realized that the efficiency of his necromancy has increased in the aftermath of his battle with Civil A. Sabaramond. He tells Corpse God that he is "free" and assures him that he will always be his friend regardless of whether he chooses between "destruction or peace" and / or "domination or revolution."

Corpse God extends his magical feelers—perhaps a sanctuary—in a keen need for more details. He dwells on the little girl whom Sayo has blanketed; the girl chomps her maw in the direction of Sayo, Misaki Sakimiya, Xiaoyu Lei, and the girl's older 'sibling,' who startles. The older sibling breaks free of Misaki's grasp and reaches for their younger sister out of a burning need to protect her. Their feet blacken with preternatural strength: "In order to protect her... I will become special!"

The older 'sibling' collides with Sayo and the younger girl;' their ears lengthen into animalistic ears, their muscles augment, and their hands become elongated paws. Misaki cries out Sayo's name at the sight of Sayo crumpled to the ground, her arm protectively swung over the young girl.

Corpse God sprints through the corridors via magical or necromantic enhancement, worried that "Roavold" is afoot. Framrodia, rushing behind him, supposes by "Roavold" that Corpse God must be alluding to a "throwback to the werewolf clan," but he holds his tongue when Katashiro—who has been keeping pace with Corpse God—acknowledges that something must have happened. Framrodia privately thinks that Katashiro must be an interesting person, to take Corpse God in such stride as he has.

Corpse God, with Katashiro at his heels, rushes into the storage room to find Sayo protectively clutching the little girl, despite the girl's teeth sunk into Sayo's right forearm.
