In episode 8, Siesta and Kimihiko speculate that Hel may have inherited Cerberus’ powers and his mission. As they begin to plan to stop the serial murders, Alicia insists on joining them in their investigation and, despite Siesta’s warning, decides to look into the case on her own. The following day, the trio goes to meet the mother of a victim, and Siesta’s insensitive questions make everyone uncomfortable.
