Call of the Night season 2 episode 8 brief recap

Titled "You're the First, Senpai", episode 8 picked up with Kyoko Meijiro and Nazuna narrowly escaping being caught by the former's mother. In order to gather evidence of her father's affair, the pair waited at a café across from his office. Coincidentally, he arrived at the same café but showed no suspicious behavior.

As he left, Nazuna tried to follow him by tailing his taxi. However, an odd force blew her back when she got close. She injured her hand in the process, prompting Kyoko to rush for first aid. By then, though, the injury had almost healed, and Nazuna revealed to Kyoko that she was a vampire.

The next morning, Nazuna found Kyoko in the literature club room. Overwhelmed by the state of her family, Kyoko broke down while reading. In this moment, Nazuna offered to make Kyoko her offspring. The girl agreed, and Nazuna did the needful, the bond between the pair growing stronger.

That same night, Kyoko returned home to find her father apologizing and wanting to amend what he had done. Her mother seemed convinced as well. Kyoko's father went on to surprise her with a birthday cake, for she had turned 18 on the day, i.e., October 31, Halloween. However, the celebrations were cut short.

Kyoko's father began to behave oddly and hurt his daughter, slashing her cheek. When her mother intervened, the man leaned forward and bit into her neck, sucking her blood dry, indicating that he had become a vampire. Overcome by bloodlust, the man attacked his daughter.

She managed to fight back and ended up killing her father. Not long after, Nazuna arrived but was stunned to see her friend sitting between the two bodies. Kyoko greeted her and simply walked out, claiming that she had never felt freer. The episode ended with Anko arriving at where Nazuna and Ko were.

What to expect from Call of the Night season 2 episode 9? (Speculative)

Call of the Night season 2 episode 9 looks set to now progress the story in the present. This is considering that the last couple of episodes were flashbacks into Nazuna's past and how different characters had influenced or been influenced by it. The events of episode 8 established that Anko Uguisu is, in fact, Kyoko Meijiro, Nazuna's first human friend.

Call of the Night season 2 episode 9 may also likely go on to explain why she is so averse to vampires and the source of her abilities in fighting them. Now what remains is to decipher how Kyoko's father was turned and what caused Kyoko to become Anko Uguisu and hunt vampires.
