Bullied student Manabu Ogiwara seeks Yato's help, which Yato handles by instructing him to engage an attacker in a knife fight. As Manabu seeks out an assailant, Phantoms, sensing his inner turmoil, emerge to possess him. As to Yukine, seeing others his own age enjoying friends at school exacerbates his self-pity, but finally venting his rage worsens Yato's blight, which spreads over to Hiyori's spirit as well. Meanwhile, as Bishamon visits Kofuku to map out future vent openings, the usually bubbly Kofuku - knowing of Bishamon's animosity towards Yato - darkly warns her of a "storm" should harm come to him.
