Summertime Rendering - 08: Memento

Comparing Version 1 to Version 2:


Name:
Memento

Synopsis:
Shin is shocked to see <spoiler>Ushio (in the usual swimsuit) within the Kofune residence. Last time she did not appear until the 24th. And she knows that 'something terrible' is going to happen on that date.
She has clearly been throught the Summer Festival experience, just like Shin has. She acknowledges that she's a 'monster' and thus has been keeping herself hidden from everyone. Mio, then Alan, arrive and Ushio hides from them. Shin sneaks to his room with her. He figures this is a Shadow that has somehow managed to 'loop' with him. He confirms that Ushio is indeed a Shadow. He could kill her, but she seems completely friendly, just like the original Ushio. Shin remembers how he left the Kofune family to learn a trade (cooking) because he felt he was a burden. He secretly loved Ushio but they argued and parted on unhappy terms. Ushio swears she will help Shin prevent another Festival apocalypse. Shin asks her if she can copy humans; apparently not.
Meanwhile, Nezu and Ryuunosuke lay in wait for Mio's Shadow. Inside, somehow Ushio's swimsuit vanishes; Shin gives her some clothing. A Shadow in non-human form creeps into the house. What seems to be Mio enters the room with Shin and Ushio, but pulls a knife and lunges at him. Ushio blocks it and is stabbed herself.
Shadow Mio asks why 'Sis' has sided with a human that helped kill a fellow Shadow (Shiori). Ushio says it was because loves him. Shadow Mio seems to have the upper hand but Nezu shoots it through the window and Shin stabs its shadow. Before dying it confesses that it, too, loves Shin--no doubt an emotion it copied from the real Mio. Ryuunosuke enters and wants to finish off the gravely injured Ushio, but she and Shin persuade him to spare it. Nagumo replaces Ryuunosuke and reveals it was a message from Ushio that persuaded her to come back to the island. She replays it--in it, Ushio predicts the massacre at the Festival and says only Shin would be able to prevent it. But Ushio doesn't recall sending it--no doubt she hasn't done so yet. Nezu wonders why Mio's Shadow acted in a different manner than in the incident in the 2nd loop. </spoiler>
