私を喰べたい、ひとでなし | 伊予上灘駅 — The Platform Before the Sea

Episode 6 lets Hinako and Shiori travel toward the coast together, and 伊予上灘駅 marks the moment their strange arrangement begins to resemble a day out. The small Yosan Line station is unstaffed. A tiled roof, blue entrance arch, parked bicycles, and a quiet platform replace the dramatic machinery of a city terminal. That modest scale suits them. Shiori can speak about hunger and protection, but here she also waits for a local train beside Hinako. The journey asks whether time shared in ordinary intervals can become a reason to remain alive, even when neither girl is ready to name it that way.

Check the timetable before coming; trains can be far apart, and the station remains part of a working railway. Between services, listen to how thoroughly the silence belongs to the platform. That waiting is the scene.
