Episode Context

As episode one of twelve, 'Replacement' functions as pure foundation, establishing the central relationship between Yoshiki and Hikaru, the isolated village setting, and the core supernatural mystery that will drive the entire season. Nothing precedes it, but everything that follows depends on the emotional and psychological groundwork laid here. Expect subsequent episodes to escalate the tension and consequences that this premiere so carefully sets into motion.
