The Summer Hikaru Died episode 4: A brief recap

Episode 4, titled Summer Festival, starts by showing Hikaru and Yoshiki feeding the cat, while Hikaru is still trying to cope with being a normal human being. While Hikaru and Yoshiki were in his room, Hikaru came up with the idea of going to the summer festival with Yoshiki and Kaoru, Yoshiki's sister.

While Hikaru, Yoshiki, and Kaoru were enjoying the festival, the three men from before were discussing the Indou family ritual at Kubitachi Mountain. Soon, Tanaka also joins the men in their discussions about the ritual. Meanwhile, as Hikaru and the others were passing, Hikaru got caught in the barrier trap laid by Tanaka and was detached from the group.

As Hikaru and Yoshiki were talking, Hikaru asked Yoshiki how he had figured out the truth about Hikaru's alien identity. As Yoshiki explained, he had seen Hikaru's dead body in the mountains before the new Hikaru's arrival. Additionally, Tanaka concluded that the entity might be morphed as a human being, making it hard to detect.
