The social tension is PEAK. I finally figured out why Zoe was acting so weird—poor guy! The "Webster Tragedy" talk is getting dark as well, and I’m lowkey suspicious of Philomela now. Everyone has a secret. Not hype, I mean, slow burn again but still worth it to watch.
You can feel something building here—the atmosphere gets heavier and more uneasy. The academy isn’t as safe as it seems, and Chise’s situation feels more complicated now. Strong setup episode 👀
Things take a sharp turn into the creepy. The search for the missing students brings back that sense of ancient, predatory dread that the first season nailed so well. It’s uncomfortable and eerie, just like good folklore should be. Don't skip the dark stuff.
