So we have a ghost that, once you understand its mechanics, could never actually harm you as long as you stop doing the specific thing that allows it to advance towards you. We also have a guy who, due to paranoia as to whether or not things actually work that way, can't stop himself from compulsively doing the thing that is inviting the dangerous ghost closer to him.
Since these chapters usually mirror the overarching story itself in some way, if we take those things into consideration, plus the "face not recognized" bit at the end, we could probably assume that:
One, there actually might not be any penalty for stopping the ghost stories part way, and Yuuma has been/is being straight up lied to about it so that he keeps doing what the guy in the story does, allowing the ghost to scare him into acting against his better judgement. Yuuma himself may have recognized this by now, considering he's the one telling the story, but it could also be a subconscious belief. It could also just be an assumption on his part; it depends on whether we take the story as a direct reflection of what Yuuma believes, or as a hint specifically to the reader about what is to come (or both).
And Two, with the whole "face not recognized" tie in at the end of the story, as well as his disconcerted expression as his "mom" sings at the start of the chapter, probably a tune he's either never heard before or one that's completely out of character for her, I'd say that it's like 100% safe to say that whatever he's inviting into the world through Hina is not his real mom. That was the pretty obvious twist for a while to be fair, but it still could have gone either way until this chapter, imo

Seven stories left!!! I'm excited.
The panel of the guy getting strangled kinda ruined the atmosphere for me, but otherwise a pretty good classic ghost story!
(Also, it's still funny to me that fictional ghosts can now mess with smartphones and have social media accounts.)
Story lowkey reminds me of the concept of doom scrolling (maybe just bc there's smartphone lol): how looking for more information is a normal response to a tragedy (or, in the case of the story, being vigilant during an ongoing danger), but inundating yourself with traumatic images and stories only results in harming yourself, and how the healthier but incredibly counterintuitive response is to disengage for a bit. It's funny that phone guy literally only needed to do NOTHING to save himself, but it takes an insane amount of faith to trust in an advice like that while being hunted down like this.
I think this pretty much foreshadows Yuuma's doom, or at least, it's a reflection of his own feelings of doom. Yuuma has rejected earlier external interventions that could have stopped the ritual (the police guy with the curse-stopping object) and has seen what careless interventions result in. As one of the above comments said, possessed!Hina could be lying about the ritual, and it's Yuuma's fear created by the other times the ritual was interfered with that keeps him doing it. His way out could involve (1) some sort of break, to keep his mind off the ritual and its effects for just a short while, and/or (2) someone he really, really, REALLY trusts. It won't be a perfect solution, but it would be enough to prevent further escalation, and it could work even if the ghost is literally just one step away from him.
