Shinichi picked up the phone to call Uda. He said, "When will you be here?" A different voice said, "Who cares, now shut up bitchy asshole!" Uda over the phone said, "I'm sorry, Jaw made me cuss. I am at the door by the way". The front door opened. Afterwards, Nobuko got out of bed, went to the door and recognized Uda. She said, "Thanks for saving my son". But Uda seeing Nobuko as a half-parasite and being a crybaby. He said, "Y-yooouuurree W-welcome" and ran towards Shinichi, yelling, "Help, a monster talked to me at the front door. Shinichi said, "Uda! You're 27 years old! Act like it. Besides, that's my mother you dumbass!" Uda calmed down and said, "I'm sorry I overreacted".
Shinichi was sitting in bed thinking about Migi. He then heard a familiar voice, "Shinichi". He looked at his right hand and realized that it was Migi. Shinichi smiled with happy tears in his eyes and said, "Migi, I'm so glad you're awake. It's been 2 years. I really missed you". Migi said, " I missed you too Shinichi. Glad you're okay. Shinichi said, "My mom has been revived, but she has become a half-parasite. So will you please let me tell Mom and Dad about you. I promise they won't turn me in and they won't tell anybody and please don't hurt them.". Migi said, "Fine. I will show myself".
Shinichi walked downstairs. He sat down at the breakfast, sat down, took a deep breath and said, "Mom and Dad, I have to tell you something". Nobuko said, "Finally, you will tell me what you have been hiding from me. Maybe I can regain more of my memory". Kazuyuki said, "She's right Shinichi". Shinichi said, "I've been infected with a parasite". His parents both looked in horror and the whole house was silent for 10 minutes.
10 minutes later
Shinichi asked his parents, "Mom, Dad? Do you have anything to say?" Kazuyuki said, "Son, what are you talking about?" Shinichi responded, "You know how I tied up my arm years ago? Well I have a parasite in my right hand. His name is Migi which means righty". Nobuko said nothing. She only ran upstairs screaming and crying. Shinichi sighed and slowly walked up the stairs trying to formulate what he was trying to formulate what he was going to say next. As he reached the top of the stairs, he heard his mom sobbing. "Mom?" he said. "I know you are concerned, but I have it under control. Migi and I have an agreement and we are friends". Nobuko said "How can you trust it and know that it will not betray you?" Shinichi responded, "It protects my life and it can't live without me because it survives on the nutrients in my bloodstream from whatever I eat, so I have to eat more". Nobuko said with tears in her eyes, "Well maybe if you told me before, I wouldn't look like this, I wouldn't have a growly voice, I wouldn't have bloodlust, I wouldn't have lost my memory, and I would still be a normal human". Shinichi said, "The reason I didn't tell you is because I didn't want him to kill you becuase Migi thought you and Dad would turn us in I did tell you". Nobuko said, "I understand, you were trying to protect us". Kazuyuki said, "Your mother is clearly more upset that you didn't tell us". Shinichi said, "Dad, I'm suprised that you're calm about this". Then Shinichi heard a voice. He followed it and the ghost a woman and a girl were standing. Shinichi recognized the woman as Reiko and the girl as Kana. Shinichi said, "Kana, I wish you were alive. Please come back. Kana responded, "I'm sorry, I want to choose whether I come back or not. I've been dead for 2 years. I'm with you all the time. You just don't pay attention. This isn't even my physical body. I'm in the afterlife now". Reiko said, "She's right Shinichi. Let her walk her own and let her make her own decisions.
