That was far too straightforward for SHAFT brand symbolism. If it doesn't involve cabbage patch dolls, claymation, obscure 17th century woodblock prints and a pack of crayons in a blender set to puree, what you see is what you get.
I'm assuming Hitagi is using the cram school Oshino used to haunt because
1: shaft can meet their quota of school desks and chairs
2: It was the most convenient abandoned building she had available.
3: She is hoping it has some residual spiritual protection from Oshino's stay (my current wild crackpot theory based on little or no facts)
Can't wait for next Saturday to come.
