The episode is set in a location known as "Grave," a forbidden area where individuals with supernatural abilities are buried. This place is meant to keep at bay spirits that have transformed into Grotesques due to negative emotions. The seal of the Grave has been broken, and the Grotesques have awakened, posing a significant threat to the Imperial Capital.
Prince Takaihito, who possesses the power of revelation, confirms the breaking of the seal. He warns of an endless night and an impending battle that may cost human lives. This revelation deeply unsettles the city officials, including Kudo, Okaito, and Tatsuishi.
Kazushi Tatsuishi, the new head of the Tatsuishi family, encounters Prince Takaihito. The Tatsuishi family had previously committed a crime and is now under the control of the Kudo family. Prince Takaihito forgives the Tatsuishi family and emphasizes the importance of restoring trust.
Kiyoka is deeply concerned about Miyo's recurring nightmares. He suspects they may be linked to the abilities of the Usuba family, which include reading minds and invading dreams. Kiyoka's investigations lead him to Sumi Usuba, Miyo's birth mother, who is the only known connection to the Usuba family.
The Imperial Household Ministry sends Arata Tsuruki as a liaison to collaborate with Kiyoka's Anti-Grotesque Special Unit. Their goal is to capture the escaped Grotesques. Tsuruki reveals that only 20% of the Grotesques have been captured so far and that there have been casualties.
Later, an unconscious man is found, suspected to be one of those who opened the Grave. When attempts to wake him fail, it is believed he is under a curse from the Grotesques. A confrontation with these spirits ensues, making the threat they pose all too clear.
