Comparing Version 1 to Version 2:
Name:
Bloody Night
Synopsis:
Shin finds himself in the presence oif 'Mother' <spoiler>and wants to find out what she did/will do at the Summer Festival so that he can prevent it from happening again. Mother's form "belongs to the person Hiruko first copied" Tokiko says. That was Haine, and Mother/Hiruko now prefers to go by that name. Haine transforms into the form of Shiori--it was her, not some ordinary Shadow, who erased Shiori. Tokiko says Haine now needs a new body. Nurse Negoro appears, steering two caskets. Tokiko says her family clinic has been feeding Haine bodies for generations--including that of her father. Tokiko says that she is prepared to be killed by Shin. One casket appears to hold Officer Miura, the other, much to the surprise of Shin, Shadow Ushio and Sou, holds Ushio's original body. Tokiko says her father (a Shadow, right?) substituted another body before what was supposed to be Ushio's cremation. Shin demands to know how 'Toki' got involved in all this. She says she was surprised when original Ushio was killed, because she hadn't expected her to team up with her own Shadow to save Shiori. Toki argues that she had no choice but to serve Haine, who coughs up some blood. Toki says that if Haine dies, so will her mother. She says her father asked Haine to change her into a Shadow in order to save her from an incurable disease, and she did. Sou is bewildered but Toki points out that they treat Shadow Ushio just like the original one. Haine erases Miura's body and acts as if she has just eaten something delicious. She's about to do the same to Ushio's body when Shin calls out to Shadow Ushio to print him another nail gun. He uses it to distract the 'Wild One' Shadows while Shadow Ushio grabs the body of original Ushio. Ushio argues that Haine has been manipulating Toki. Haine transforms Negoro into a hideous, zombie-like monster; Ushio engages her. Shin is about to shoot Haine with his nail gun when 4-arms (I think) appears and slashes it from his hands, taking off most of Shin's fingers as well. He also has Mio as a hostage. While Shin writhes in agony 4-arms promises to retrieve Ushio's body. 4-Arms almost seems to outrank Haine, who behaves like a spoiled child. Tokiko is angry because she had been promised that Mio wouldn't be hurt. 4-Arms says that promise doesn't matter since no human will survive beyond tomorrow. Tokiko realizes that she has been fooled. Sou makes a move but is shot by 4-Arms, who has generated a revolver. Meanwhile, Ryuunosuke is badly injured but Tetsu comes along; he is human. Nagumo takes over (has Ryuunosuke died?). She asks Tetsu what happened to Mio (who he had been with)and he says monsters took her. Back in the other chamber, 4-Arms shoots Tokiko.</spoiler>
Comments:
Who is Haine again? We have heard that name before, but I never quite grapsed who it was. And why does Haine need bodies? Most Shadows feed on 'data', don't they?
