Well. Wife asks our heroes to investigate her husband having an affair, turns out he was being mind controlled by a cult that apparently did some kind of ritual to ascend to "heaven" (but actually went to some kind of hell). Said cult also tries to get Hama but Yume and co. are able to save her in time. And then the wife turns out to be super yandere and chops off her husband's... oof.

Sometimes the humans are scarier than the supernatural.

How did the husband escape? Wasn't the ghost trying to capture people ? Hama escaped cuz she got saved by yume and UT but the hubby? How he run?

I mean considering the wife literally cut through her entire finger, and just put in her mouth like she'd nicked it. Yeah I was waiting for her to turn out to have either been captured by the grey or just be completely unhinged like this.

Once you have to have an affair investigated things have gone kind of rough in a relationship, you know? It's probably best for all parties involved to cut things off. Well. Maybe not. So literally.

I really liked the representation of 'things' pushing through surfaces to communicate another world- and that dizzying pattern of squares is somehow much more menacing then any hellfire could be.

He wasn't really brainwashed, was he? Made to perceive things that weren't there, yes, but not mind-controlled. He had an affair. It was his choice. He could have stopped seeing Saki, but chose not to.

Exactly. She's right, an affair with a ghost still counts.

....Buuuuuut she should've just gotten a divorce instead of assaulting him.
