This explains why all the words he saw in this world were mirror images. Araragi tells her about the strange occurrences, and Hachikuji deduces that Araragi has somehow entered the mirror world. Araragi was able to recognize her because he saw Hachikuji in this form during the events of Mayoi Jianshi. Hachikuji Mayoi is in the form of an adult, or what she would have looked like if she didn't die from the car accident.

At the shrine, Araragi is once again surprised by what he sees. On the way, he has trouble finding his way to the shrine. He goes to Kitashirahebi Shrine to discuss this strange matter with the newly appointed god, Mayoi Hachikuji. He calls Shinobu Oshino, but she doesn't respond. Thinking that something is definitely off. Her facial expression ticked him off, so he leaves the house in order to avoid getting into an argument with her. Araragi notices right away that Ononoki actually has facial expressions. Tsukihi leaves her room to take a bath, and Yotsugi Ononoki, (who was pretending to be a doll), starts talking to him. There aren't any noticeable changes with Tsukihi, and she doesn't seem to notice Karen's drastic change in height. Confused, he leaves the bathroom, and goes to his sisters' room to talk to Tsukihi Araragi. She used to be taller than him, but now she is shorter. Karen Araragi is taking a bath, and he realizes that she is a lot shorter than she used to be. When he wakes up, he is still in the bathroom. The entire mirror turns purple, and Araragi blacks out. He then tries to touch the mirror, and his hand goes right through the mirror. He looks into the mirror, and notices that his reflection is staring at him, despite the fact that he lowered his face. While contemplating about these things, he goes to the bathroom to wash his face. It's like he became a nobody, and he thinks he is in some kind of limbo at the moment. He realizes that he's currently neither a high schooler nor a college student. Koyomi Araragi wakes up in the morning after the graduation.

This is the modern-day oddities! Oddities! Oddities!

Waking up without his sisters' help, what is the new world that Koyomi Araragi, who just became a nobody, going to face.? With the battle with Ougi Oshino over, it was finally time to graduate from Naoetsu High School the next morning. The title is portmanteau of zoku (continuation), owari (end), and monogatari (story).
