**Our Revenge** (ぼくらの復讐) is the twelfth episode of the anime of *Migi and Dali*.

## Synopsis

Upon Eiji killing his mother and starting the house on fire, the others in the house are trapped in the reeducation room and try to escape as the house burns down.

## Plot Summary

Eiji is seen stabbing Reiko, telling her that he intends to follow after her, and then starting the house on fire by tossing a flaming bag containing the diorama of the Ichijo family into the living room.

Locked in the hidden room, Maruta tries to use his teeth to saw a hole into the door. Dali expresses anger to Migi and is still unwilling to accept that Eiji is his brother. Mr. Ichijo is in disbelief about the events, not understanding what is happening since everything in the Ichijo family is perfect. Karen questions her father, in disbelief that he was unaware that his wife was forcing Eiji to wear diapers. Upon Maruta succeeding in making a small hole in the door, they find that smoke is coming through the hole and they realize the house is burning down. All in the room attempt to break down the door to no success until Akiyama arrives in his bird costume to tear it down.

With the entryway blocked by fire, they escape the house through the upstairs window, needing to jump over the expanse of barbed wire below. All succeed in escaping; Akiyama jumps out with the Ichijo family's dog, and Mr. Ichijo becomes entangled in the barbed wire. Once safe, they hear the song of the water fleas from inside the house, which Migi and Dali reflect fondly of, as does Eiji, who has brought his "mother's" lifeless body to her bedroom and put on the record playing the song. Eiji reflects on how he enjoyed hearing his mother play this on the piano. He states that he feels that she was the perfect mother for him, and he thanks her for teaching him to be the perfect son. He states that he had hoped to become a doctor like his father so that he could bring peace to her heart. He has determined that killing her was the only way he found that could bring her peace.

Upon concluding that Eiji is inside the house likely aiming to die inside, Dali thinks about Eiji and recognizes that Eiji behaves the same way that he did when he was alone after Migi left him. Dali runs back into the house to try to save Eiji. Upon entering Reiko's bedroom, Dali tells Eiji he wants revenge, and Eiji invites him to use the knife that he used to kill his mother. Migi comes into the room and becomes hysterical upon finding that his bottom is on fire. Dali says that revenge for him would be for Eiji to live disgracefully.

Dali grabs Eiji and brings him to the hallway, but Eiji fights against him, pushing Dali down to the living room floor below. Eiji and Migi also fall down. A ghostly figure having the appearance of Micchan comes to help clear the smoke so that Dali and Migi can remove the chandelier that is keeping Eiji pinned to the floor. Eiji is reluctant to be saved, but Migi and Dali talk about their dream for all of them to have a party and eat cherry pie together.

Upon the fire department arriving to the scene and bringing the dead body of Reiko out of the house in a stretcher, the three brothers are seen hiding outside, observing the events. The twins convince Eiji that they will be able to harbor him at the Sonoyama house with them, but he steps out and presents himself to the police, claiming to be responsible for the arson and for having murdered his own mother and Micchan to save his long-lost triplet brothers.
