## Long Summary

Alien holds a coin and re-confirms that machines can't perceive them, but only humans. He knows the people of this planet are good and is sure they will help him find all the coins.

At Clair's place, she tells Shuichi that they need to figure out what they are capable while they are one. She starts taking her clothes off wanting to go inside of Shuichi, but she wonders why she needs to be naked. Clair tells him its too hot inside of him and if she has clothes, they will get all drenched. Shuichi forces her to use a swimsuit as its a clothing that will be easy to wash. As she enters inside of him, they start experiment with movements and Clair figures out she has more control of Shuichi's body than himself as she is able to prevent his movements.

Later, Shuichi cleans Clair's place and washes her dishes. Clair shows clothing of her sister, as while she was inside of Shuichi, she realized he had powerful sense of smell. She reveals that while she didn't see her sister kill their parents, when returning home, she saw their corpses being next to her sister, who was now a monster. Shuichi smells blood of many people from Elena's clothing and is terrified. He realizes that her sister indeed had killed their parents.

Shuichi suggests they go look for her sister and they go buy some food supplies first. Shuichi asks Clair what she will do if they find Elena and Clair tells him, she wants to ask why she had turned into a monster and why did she kill their parents. They spend couple of days trying to pick up a smell of her sister, as Clair figured someone must helps her sister. When they were about to give up for the day, a girl gets of the train and Shuichi instantly picks Elena's smell. Checking her out, Clair confirms its her sister and not a classmate of her. Clair enters Shuichi, wanting to first shoot her sister and then capture her while she can't move.

Clair tells Shuichi to aim for the legs and she will pull the trigger, but when Elena is in range, Shuichi realizes Clair wants to kill her and interferes, making Clair miss her shot. In that instant, Elena transforms and gets behind Shuichi, making him realize, he is nothing compared to her strength. Elena then transforms back to human and starts apologizing and not being sure what to talk about. Elena realizes he had come to kill her and asks they go somewhere else, where they won't bother other people. Elena says, she knows who he is and understands why he wants to kill her and its all her fault. Clair thinks Elena had realized she is inside of Shuichi, but as Elena apologizes to Shuichi, she understands Elena wasn't talking to her. Elena then explains she made Shuichi into a monster, making Clair wonder what she means. But as Clair had spoken, Elena realizes a girl is inside Shuichi. Her anger overtakes her and she rips off Shuichi's head, telling the girl to get out as that place belongs to her.
