Atsuko meets a mysterious cat on the street that suddenly begins following her. When Chuzenji-sensei sees it, he jokingly refers to it as a bakeneko (cat spirit), which makes the situation feel a little eerie. Later, when Chuzenji goes to an antique shop to buy a container for the cat, another mystery appears. The shop owner recently bought a backpack from a pawn shop, and strange rumors start surrounding the bag. Kanna and Chuzenji begin looking into the story, showing that the mystery around the backpack is connected to its previous owner rather than anything supernatural.

Episode Context

Episode 7 follows directly from 'The Wicker Basket That Must Not Be Opened,' continuing the series' pattern of standalone supernatural cases that progressively deepen the overarching mythology. Sitting just past the season's midpoint, it bridges earlier mysteries with the darker territory ahead, specifically setting the stage for 'Grim Reaper's Score.' The supernatural stakes are quietly escalating, and the characters' cumulative experiences with the unknown are clearly shaping how they approach each new enigma.
