Shinichi was sleeping.
Migi usually took this time to conduct further research on his host's species.
It was demanding - this self study. There was so much in question about the humans. They destroyed and then rebuilt, they created domains of understanding to confine something like biology in a separate category to physics, acknowledging their interconnection but maintaining the separation.
And yet they created these binaries and there was some interconnection here but never, it seemed with what they called 'opposites'.
The opposing force to science, for example came up in old texts from dead societies and online articles - as recent as yesterday's - as religion. But the subjects acting on this conflict would then be the universe and god, respectively. Yet, in essence they seem to be the same thing...
"Correction." Said Migi. "There are contesting ideas. They are just hard to find."
Migi often talks to himself. He finds that it helps him reflect on his own thoughts with more clarity. The humans seem to translate this as an indicator of mental instability.
Something bubbled within Shinichi's stomach. Migi went inside to investigate but there was nothing recently consumed.
What was the strange fluttering?
Migi goes back through the arm and relaxes thoughtfully. He often used Buddhist meditation principles and often with great success. But he struggled with this particular mystery.
The Buddhist monks were the closest to his kind in sentiment, he thought, together with sociopaths but there was no clear observation of his kind and as he had no parental guidance other than Shinichi's recollection of his acquisition of the left hand.
It became quite frustrating when the only literature on similar beings were under what the humans deemed the fiction of science. Two binary terms on their own, threatening to be opposites but then thrust together to describe the human predictions of the future. Stupid yet...clever.
The bubbling occurred again and Migi made haste to discover the cause...but there was nothing except...
Within Shinichi's body Migi spread himself and usually concentrated mostly in the area he was assessing. He spread himself so thinly that he nearly fell asleep and just then he felt it.
A twitch.
He fled up to the mouth.
There're so many muscles here.
But he was getting stronger and it twitched again...on the left corner.
Migi settled there and thought:
Humans are stupid.
Shinichi's mouth let out a barely audible but undeniable little sigh...
...of laughter.
