Spoiler for koyomimonogatari:

Kagenui is not officially dead, just "disposed of". It seems she was made to disappear by a certain someone to make Ononoki useless. As a countermove, Gaen killed Araragi (you can't play a game of chess without the king). According to her, Shinobu will then end up killing herself. The irony is that it happened the day Araragi was supposed to take the exam to enter university.

All in all, this book is just a big teaser. The stories in it would be nice, weren't for the fact that I want to know what's happening. I am frankly a bit tired of Nisio milking the franchise.
