In episode 7, Legoshi can’t figure out why his jaws feel weak. He is still trying to find out who killed and ate Tem. Realizing no one else is in the locker room with him, Legoshi proceeds to drink from every suspect’s bottle as he remembers how the perpetrator’s saliva tastes like. At the drama club, Tao accidentally rips out one of Kibi’s arms. Through Legoshi’s voice-over, we learn that this is surprisingly common as the carnivores often don’t realize their own strength.

Legoshi, on the other hand, discovers that he can’t move. Pina shows up right at that moment, and the situation diffuses after that.
Pina reveals that he has heard enough of the conversation between Riz and Legoshi to know that Riz killed Tem. Riz subsequently observes that he now also has to kill Pina and Legoshi. Pina responds by saying that if Riz does so, it will bring the police to the campus.
