I rewatched the episode and I've even more impressed what they're doing here with the soundtrack in this episode.

It does this really neat thing throughout the episode where the OST shifts to align with the vibe and thoughts of each of the vampires. Kohakobe's goes for in a poppy synth to match the "sweet" vibe she likes to fake before relentlessly drowning her targets in praise, but shifting back to the calculated faster beat track when they jump to the others analyzing the technique being used.

The whole episode does this with the soundtrack, from cutting out the refined strings track that the vampires start when Ko tells them he only wants Nazuna, and then bouncing through multiple tracks that cut out to emphasize a joke. It's incredible.

Shirakawa got a gentle piano track. Seri got a casual track that matches the rain, cutting to just the wind noise as she's about to bite him. The happy and refined strings tracks shifting to calculating ones as the vampires start to play their game with him, cutting abruptly each time he messes with their momentum, Nazuna mostly gets the wind/city noises to match the original vibe of the series, and then it closes with a positive sounding track with a sense of forward motion only to get cut with the cliffhanger.
