| After watching Ushio's replay of events on the beach (complete with the disturbing real-time intervention by Mother), Shadow Ushio, Shin and Sou try to make sense of things. "Ya took damage to your memories after fighting with Shiori's Shadow" Shin concludes, "It was turnin' ya into some kinda black mud". "But it couldn't completely erase me in time" Shadow Ushio (SU) replies. "I somehow restored my body from the leftover data and made it back here. Thanks to that, I could tell ya the truth". It starts raining and Sou understands why Shin insisted on bringing umbrellas. Shin is determined to go to the old Hishigata clinic ASAP; SU and Sou agree. Meanwhile, Tokiko is suspicious of a strange man who claims to be officer Miura of the Wakayama district's north station. Sou recalls how he once came to the old clinic as a lark but for some reason his father was at the run-down, 100 year old building. Inside, Sou finds a weird statue which Shin uses his I-phone to identify as Hiruko, the deity that the island's shrine is dedicated to. They find a key to a locked room. |
