EPISODE CONTEXT

As episode 1 of 12, 'Carmine' is purely foundational — it introduces the central duo of Akihito and Mirai, establishes the supernatural framework, and plants the seeds of conflict that will drive the entire season. There's nothing before it to reference, but everything here feeds directly into Episode 2, 'Ultramarine,' where the relationship dynamics begin shifting and the stakes start escalating. This is a compact 12-episode run, so the premiere is doing significant heavy lifting in setting tone, world, and character trajectory all at once.
