Parasyte: Part 2 Page #4

---

Everyone's dead.

I'm here.

I'm right here!

You're still the old Shinichi.

The chicken, the cry-baby.

The Shinichi I love...

I feel as though...

All this was just a bad dream.

It was a dream...

All Of it.

Migi?

Were some of your cells left behind?

Shinichi?

This isn't good.

He'll find us.

He'll be here!

Shinichi!

Excuse me, this is no entry.

We should run, Shinichi.

- He's looking for me.

- Let's escape.

Keep running as far as it takes.

- I've got to face him.

- Why? What can you do?

I don't know. But Migi tried.

I promise I'll return.

I'm here!

Time to crush all hope.

Give up. It's over.

For ages, a voice

has been ringing in my ears

urging me to devour humans.

Someone on this planet had the idea

that all life needs protecting.

Who was that? Another life form?

It's you, yourselves.

What do you mean?

Above all, mankind's increase

is a threat to mankind itself.

It's man that whispers in my ear.

We're actually trying to save you.

Hi!

Migi?

You were absorbed into him?

I sabotaged his nervous system, too.

It was my plan C.

I swear...

You're a law unto yourself.

A rebellion's going on.

The subordinate parasite cells

are fleeing the impending danger.

Victory is yours, Shinichi.

Why?

Wasn't it intentional?

That pipe you used was coated

with radioactive waste.

Radioactive waste?

Wow...

Let's put him out of his misery.

You fought well.

Let me help you, comrade.

The strongest parasite is dead.

Incredible. His heart is still beating.

The head is still putting out a call,

trying to summon all the fragments

to somehow regenerate.

Is that possible?

A 50/50 chance.

We should finish him off.

We're frail creatures...

So please...

Go easy on us.

No final blow?

Do we really...

Have the right to kill him?

If that's your decision, so be it.

What is it?

You weren't in the wrong...

You're not to blame.

It's just that I...

I had something to protect.

I'm sorry...

We...

Us, humans...

We still want to keep living.

No time to rest if you're trying to catch up.

Just a few minutes.

Shinichi.

I've been thinking recently.

What?

Parasite activity is out of the news, right?

That's true.

It's not like you were all exterminated.

Tamiya, Goto and those massacred

were a small minority.

Why are the others behaving?

I wonder...

They've changed.

They've changed lifestyles

and feeding habits

and become adept at blending in.

Ryoko Tamiya's "coexistence"

is becoming a reality.

So...

I have changed, too.

You have?

Shinichi, I'm thinking of leaving.

What are you talking about?

That nuclear waste caused havoc

to my cellular structure.

I've been working on the repair ever since,

exhausting healthy cells in the process.

Really...

With the result that

it's hard for me to maintain this form.

I need to begin a long period of dormancy.

It might be years, decades...

My entire life, maybe.

It means you get your right hand back.

Wait a minute...

Don't worry. It's just a shut-down.

Now's a good time to take my own path.

A journey deep inside myself.

What do you mean?

Imagine this was all a dream...

I can't do that.

You're right in front of me.

For sure, I'm definitely real.

And although we endured

so much hardship,

we have to part now.

Migi...

I'm leaving, flipping the switch...

Wait.

Don't I get to talk to you again?

Maybe not...

Talking to your own hand is odd, anyway.

You know how you forget a dream

when you wake?

Forget me the same way.

Wait a minute, Migi.

This is just a hand here.

The right hand you missed so badly.

Migi...

Shinichi.

Thanks for everything.

Migi?

Wake up, Migi...

Is that it?

I swear...

You're just a law unto yourself.

Don't ask me to forget you.

How could I ever do that, you jerk?

Sorry, sorry...

Hey, you...

I thought you stood me up.

I fell back to sleep again.

You're terrible.

Taiki Tamiya.

Taiki.

Will he grow tall?

Look, they're selling coffee.

You're right.

It looks good.

What?

I have to get you one?

Your punishment for being late.

Me?

Satomi!

Damn!

Hey, what are you doing?

Do you hear me?

It's so damn cute...

So scared, she barely makes a noise.

Stop it. What do you want?

You might not know me but...

I remember you very well.

Which brings me to my question.

I need answers from a non-human viewpoint.

Monsters kill us for food, that's simple.

What am I, then? Why do I kill?

The answer is that I'm a genuine human.

Humans have always been

a murderous species.

Slaughtering each other

for thousands of years.

I want a monster's opinion from you.

I'm a truly representative human, right?

Answer me!

I guess so...

- Maybe you're right.

- Shinichi!

You don't have to answer this jerk.

There's nothing human about you.

Quiet as a mouse and now all full of energy.

I'm not afraid of you one bit. I pity you.

That's enough. Stay quiet.

Shinichi is truly human.

He values life, no matter how small.

You're the monster!

Satomi...

It's OK...

I'm going to save you...

Believe me...

Why?

Why, for chrissakes?

Remember that dead puppy

by the side of the road?

It meant nothing to us, right?

Then why were we sad?

Because human beings sympathise

with the suffering of others.

They like to live in proximity

with other species.

That's one endearing characteristic

you guys have.

You can't help but offer a hand sometimes.

So Shinichi, will you please quit moping?

I'm tired. Take hold of her.

Satomi?

Satomi?

Satomi!

Are you OK?

Migi...

Is it you, Migi?

Are you there?

Thank you.

Satomi.

Remember...

That dead puppy?

The one I threw in the trash?

I meant to tell you for ages...

I thought it over,

and buried it under a tree.

I know...

Because that's who you are.

Because you're Shinichi...
