| Ushio asks Hizuru what she thinks caused Haine to go from the nice girl she was 14 years ago to who she is today. Hizuru doesn't know but regrets her own curiousity back then. Ushio thinks her own body was born from Haine. She says at the moment Ryuunosuke was killed she was born from a section of Haine that split off. Ushio fears she may go insane someday just like Haine apparently has. Hizuru promises to kill her if that happens. Meanwhile, Mio and Shadow Mio are talking. Shadow Mio feels how Mio hates herself for not being as attractive as Ushio. "You're Sis' real Shadow" she remarks. She advises Mio to tell Shin how she feels about him--and says if she won't she will. Dr. Hishigata reveals to Sou that the family has been involved with Shadows for 300 years; but only one member of each generation does so. Tokiko says that once those sacrificed at the revival ritual become Shadows they lose their memory of having been killed. She advises Shin to get some sleep since he has been continually awake throughout numerous loops. Shin agrees and goes to sleep at the clinic. Nezu tries to slip away alone but is caught by Ushio. He wants to go home for some reason and Ushio will only allow it if she accompanies him. At his home she finds the Shadow of his wife 'nailed' in place. He says two months ago she came home as a Shadow and tried to copy him but couldn't since he has immunity. Nevertheless, for some reason he vividly remembered the day Ryuunosuke was killed 14 years ago. He immobilized her but couldn't bring himself to kill her. But she goes into a seizure-like state and Ushio believes Haine is trying to take control of her. Despite Ushio's offer to try to return her to her previous state, Nezu executes her, saying that he'll be joining her soon. Meanwhile Shibe turns nurse Negoro into a black slime after she bandages his wounds. |
