rumor of the “Shinigami score” (death sheet music) that people believe brings misfortune to anyone who plays it. The strange rumor spreads among students and musicians, making it sound like a supernatural curse. As Kanna and the others investigate, the story turns out to be connected to the past of Sugimoto-sensei and Claude-sensei. The mysterious score is tied to their emotional history and unresolved feelings, revealing that the rumor about the Shinigami music actually comes from a tragic love story rather than anything supernatural.

Episode Context

Sitting at the two-thirds mark of the season, Episode 8 continues the anthology-style investigation of the school's supernatural legends following Episode 7's monster cat case. 'Grim Reaper's Score' deepens the pattern of escalating eeriness across the series while directly setting the stage for Episode 9's 'Rumor of the Haunted House,' suggesting the school mysteries are building toward something larger in the final stretch.
