Partially transmissive screens and protective covers are common in robotic inspection, but they create mixed LiDAR returns from both the foreground material and the scene behind it. Conventional peak-based LiDAR usually discards weak hidden returns, while single-photon LiDAR records time-resolved histograms that preserve attenuated and overlapping echoes. However, existing transient reconstruction methods typically fit a single scene representation to the measured waveform. Under occlusion, weak or nearby foreground--hidden echoes can form a broad peak or subtle shoulder. Because such waveforms can also be explained by a displaced single surface or a thick density distribution, accurate transient fitting does not necessarily imply correct geometry. We propose a state-aware framework for foreground-view and hidden scene reconstruction from occluded single-photon histograms. For each ray, we estimate local echo evidence, identifying no reliable surface evidence, single-return evidence, or two returns. The inferred echo state routes supervision for a two-head neural field: all rays constrain waveform reconstruction, while reliable anchors provide geometry localization. We also introduce a real paired single-photon LiDAR occlusion dataset with occluded and clean captures at fixed poses. Experiments on a real dataset show improved hidden scene depth and point-cloud accuracy over baselines. Our results demonstrate single-photon layered reconstruction as a practical route for 3D perception through partially transmissive occluders.
