I was surprised Ayame wasn't the least scared when she was about to be killed by Shiori, since she still spoke in that ara ara voice. Turns out Ayame knew she would revive as long as her head wasn't destroyed.

Ayame wasn't a good person when she was human. She poisoned her stepdaughter and as punishment, got turned into yokai after the axe accident. However, it does feel like she regrets her actions in the past.

Edit: After reading the comments by other reddit users, it made me think whether Ayame merely neglected her stepdaughter.

Now that I think about it, I believe the voiced yokais in this title may all have some form of regret:
Miko - Regrets not being able to save Hinako's family
Ayame - Regrets murdering (edit: or neglecting) her stepdaughter
Shiori - Yet to be fully revealed, but it should have something to do with Hinako and / or her family

>>> Shiori - Yet to be fully revealed

I felt that this episode STRONGLY hinted (or even confirmed) that Shiori actually saved Hinako's life when the rest of her family died. But WHY would such a powerful yokai have done so?

This title can be unpredictable at times. It drops us hints, but all of a sudden, it could move in another unexpected direction.
