Misako Hikizuri, the eight-year-old youngest of six siblings, sports tousled brown hair and unnervingly pale eyes. Orphaned and consumed by unprocessed grief, she unleashes frequent tearful outbursts and violent fits targeting her second-youngest brother, Hitoshi—leaving him bruised and battered. The other siblings, entrenched in their own emotional turmoil, evade accountability, habitually abandoning Hitoshi to bear her wrath alone. Her unrelenting anguish over their mother’s death drives the family to stage a séance, ostensibly granting Misako a final chance to connect with their parents. Middle brother Shigorō kickstarts the charade, mimicking their father’s spirit to manipulate the household. But the ritual derails when Hitoshi becomes a vessel for genuine possession, unraveling hidden rot: eldest brother Kazuya’s grave desecration, the siblings’ collective neglect of Hitoshi, and festering resentments. The chaos subsides, leaving Misako’s trauma unaddressed amid the family’s dawning awareness of lingering spectral influences. Her story crystallizes the corrosive consequences of buried grief and the collateral damage wrought by a family’s refusal to confront its fractures.
