Typhoon #7 is heading north over the Gotou island chain as it increases in intensity.
Though it appears it will not reach Kyushu,
residents must exercise caution, as Typhoon #9 is 150 kilometers
south of Okinotori Island, and will reach a core pressure of 982 hectopascals.
Reika Otori. Born in Kanagawa Prefecture... Has American citizenship and relatives in China...
Between her graduation from a private Canadian university and joining DBI, there's a six month blank.
Certain records indicate she spent some time in Bethesda, near Washington, D.C.
In all likelihood, she's either a double or triple agent operating under secret orders from the NIH.
Why was it updated two days ago?
I don't have time for...
Hello?
Oh, Doctor Hirata.
I'm sorry to bother you when you're so busy.
I sent you an e-mail earlier.
I haven't opened it yet.
There's no text.
Right I was in a bit of a panic.
I was wondering if you'd have a look at the attached image.
One moment, please.
This is...
What would be your professional medical opinion, Doctor Otori?
Lewy Body Dementia...
Though, it's a bit different.
Did this MRI come from an Alzheimer's patient?
No.
It belongs to me.
Why don't they have call waiting?
The announcements occurred simultaneously across the globe.
China, Canada, and Korea have all succeeded in the development of artificial life.
A revolution in artificial organs.
What's going on?
A new gospel for humanity
Will God smile upon it?
Just when the biooids are nearly complete...
Oh, nothing.
So...
Komagusu-san's still in a coma, is he?
What are you going to do?
I can't let her out of my sight yet.
Besides, it's not like I have anywhere else to go.
No kidding. Things are pretty crazy at your place.
Actually, my mom's there.
Huh?
Taro?
Him, too.
Yeah.
After that...
Lots of people out today.
What the heck is that guy
Lewy Body Dementia is characterized by vivid hallucinations indistinguishable from reality.
such episodes on a regular basis.
Since coming to Suiten, I've been experiencing
And while listening to the audio recordings Taro Komori made, I even experienced them in Tokyo.
I initially believed Komori-kun was the cause of all this.
But, I was wrong.
What would prompt this, then?
Has anything strange happened to you, Doctor Otori?
What are you suggesting?
I believe the root may lie within Suiten itself.
of humans. No, of all animals.
Something that is affecting the brains
What was DBI researching again?
You still haven't heard?
All over the world, experiments involving cloned stem cells succeeded at the same time.
Is this security?
Do you know where Furusawa of the Otori Lab is?
What do you-
I've already attempted contact
I've already attempted contact with
the designated individual, but...
I've already attempted contact with the designated individual, but...
Do you want to erase the folder
"Dai Nippon Bio"?
It seems as though you've lost your way
amidst the unknowable order of this world that may be nothing but a holograph.
Mi...
Umm...
Mi...
You're her mom, right?
Miyako's?
Yes, but who are you?
What's she doing at the Ogami house?
There's nothing else I can do.
moment, and Komagusu's still...
I'm not in a position to take her at the
But...
Besides, a very reputable person promised me they'd protect her.
That's...
This place really doesn't suit me.
Time flows like a slow, gentle river for someone your age.
You shouldn't stop it.
I realize that
since I've exiled myself to the "Unseen World", iI don't really have the right to speak, but...
Is something wrong?
Mizuka was there just now.
Mom?
She hasn't changed one bit.
Excuse me!
Yes, yes, I'll be right there.
Out of the way.
Mom's gone. Are you going to let things stay like this?
I've got more important things to do right now.
And it's not like your mom's in any danger, anyway.
You're actually okay with that?
On top of everything, my only son's going into a rebellious phase, is he?
What are you doing?
I'm going to work!
I'm coming with you.
You...
Nashi?
I haven't had that in a while.
You need to eat something.
You can use a knife?
It's no big deal.
That knife you brought...
It's nothing.
I bought it off the internet.
I see.
You!
You'll talk if we understand!
Wait, I mean...
So much has happened.
I'm impressed with how you've endured it all.
I haven't really...
It must've been hard moving here from Tokyo.
That Kameiwa girl is going to be the next Ogami-sama.
Lady Himeko was a powerful miko, but the new Ogami-sama will be even greater!
Even politicians from Tokyo will come to hear her prophecies.
You'll be able to see Mizuka again.
Taro?
My mom isn't going to join your worship circle!
We're brewers!
Our god is Matsuo-sama!
I'll come back another time.
You're still a young man.
You're becoming a fine adult, though.
I feel a bit lonely...
Taro.
Yes?
You think I've lost my mind, don't you?
I...
I'm just fine.
Okay?
Your dad'll be back soon.
Ill start dinner.
What's more important than mom?
It's not that simple.
At this very moment...
You have no idea what I'm researching.
What's a biooid?
Why do you...
They said it on the news.
Looks like others beat you to it, Dad.
The goal may be the same, but my biooids don't use human tissue.
We don't use embryos.
Do you know what that is?
What's in an egg cell?
That answer gets you 50%.
You should really study more.
Don't say that now.
So?
the arrival of so-called "master cells".
Modern medicine is eagerly awaiting
However, ES and iPS cells aren't at the right level yet.
If you continue to grow artificial embryonic cells that've been genetically programmed outside of the body,
abnormalities occur in the genes and chromosomes.
Are biooids different?
Biooids fall outside our definition of what it means to be "alive"!
They're organic bodies existing for the purpose of growing organs based off the recipient's DNA,
and to correct any errors in it.
They're not alive?
They must be.
No.
You're wrong.
The biooids do not have individual brains.
All of their activities are governed by a computer that we control.
More than anything, they lack the ability to replicate.
Is that all life is?
I've seen this guy before.
His name's Nide.
He's an underling for this Takeba guy,
who is Renzou Mizunuma's loyal retainer.
All three of them are Workers employed by this guy, Kyoushi Hazei.
They're mobile enforcers for the underworld.
I might've seen that old guy when I was a kid.
A long time ago, Himeko-san had a lot of influence.
That stupid Kabata bitch started acting up the minute the old woman died!
Is your mother better?
Her memories are still a bit messed up.
But...
It might just be an act.
I'm kind of worried.
When your mother and Kaibara tried to kill themselves,
why did they start a fire, too?
What do you mean?
Are you saying they did it?
Why would they?
If you consider that someone as important as Hazei is aiding in the restoration of the Ogami group,
it's possible they want to "deal with" anyone who knows their inconvenient past.
Inconvienient past? That I was the first one kidnapped, and that Taro and his sister...
And then, my dad...
I'm going to protect my mom, no matter what!
I've asked Public Safety's Security Department to provide an escort for her.
Using some, well, personal connections.
But, until a crime is committed by the Ogami Worship Circle, our hands and the police's are tied.
Miyako-chan, was it?
Her mother works for the National Transportation Ministry,
and it seems she was being pressured by the higher-ups to give the girl to the Ogami group.
I know I shouldn't ask this, but is there any chance you'd help Komori-kun and Masayuki?
Hey are you here?
You always talk to me.
I thought you were my sister at first, but I know you're not.
I also thought she d been reborn as that girl, but those were just my misplaced feelings.
I see.
You've learned a lot.
You're here!
I need you to take me somewhere.
I'm sure Komagusu-san is inside the Unseen World.
To be honest, I'm not allowed to help you directly.
Please.
There's no time.
Thanks!
Who are you really?
If you re not my sister...
I suppose I might be the person who knows you best.
Komagusu-san!
Oh, it's the Komori kid.
This is a truly amazing place.
Komagu-
During certain periods, the temperature of the Earth was much higher than it is now,
and so was the density of carbon dioxide.
So, was the land barren then?
Sure wasn't!
Some form of life always flourished during those times.
None of that matters. You need to wake up fast, or Mi... Shell!..
Miyako?
That girl... I've never been anything bat a burden to her.
She still needs you to wake up!
Wake up?
I'm more awake now than I've ever been.
Aren't I?
The robots were recording.
Your assistant, Furusawa?
Yes.
An incubation tank for the biooids?
What was he doing?
of that "Blood Music" book.
I guess he fancies himself the hero
He's been surreptitiously overwriting the biooid system.
You can't mean...
He changed them all into mutants with reproductive instincts.
Security is currently following him.
Is this the guy Michio saw?
He set the biooids loose at Kameiwa Dam.
If that's true...
Why is Miyako joining the Ogami Worship Circle?
I don't really know,
but I'm sure she doesn't want to!
Why are they all women?
They serve the miko that's bringing down a god.
But, if we go in like this...
Don't won .
I bet only she II be able to see us.
Young Princess of Ogami, she who can bring down the Lord of One Word...
Will what the gods promised for Suiten Town, no, for all of Kyushu, come to pass?
The gods will soon descend from the Kameiwa mountains.
Miyako!
I Why cant she Hear us?
I don't know but... Mi-Mi...
Mi...
Note: An enmi is a type of Japanese curse.
Has someone sent an enmi?
I knew it.
That's the root.
I guess they're being drawn here.
