DO NOT SKIP THIS EP!! It’s one of the BEST eps of the season imo. An absolute masterclass in supernatural storytelling: a peculiar client, Yuko going into “serious witch” mode, and Watanuki watching weird consequences happen. It’s a perfectly-paced ep with a CHILLING PLOT that will leave you thinking for a really long while. 😣 (I know I did, because it’s been over a decade since I first watched this, and this ep is what I think is PEAK xxxHOLiC lol.)
