The SDCD operatives are dispatched to eliminate a Tsuchigumo that appeared out of town. When Yomi kills the Category B spirit, Kagura saves a woman from being crushed by its body, a civilian who could not only see the spirit but who is also a witness of the team's entire operation. Yomi and Kagura are later called out to an old subway tunnel where they encounter the same woman, now a vengeful spirit after having killed herself, together with a group of spirits of other dead people. Kagura's father arrives to save them by using the Ga-rei spirit Byakuei upon Kagura's inability to purify the dead humans. When all is over he harshly reprimands her, by reminding Kagura about her great responsibility as a Vanquisher, and by firmly exhorting her to become stronger.
