Migi&Dali (ミギとダリ)

[flapping of wings, rushing wind]

Is Solo in the bath?

Yes, I finally talked him into it.

Guess now is the time, then.

Let's use this time to discuss you-know-what.

We came to this house

with one goal in mind.

And to achieve it

the two of us must be one.

I have to say though, Dali...

...that old couple

may be stronger than we thought.

No weakling would use a tool like this...

We really can't let our guards down around them yet.

Maybe they grow a new layer of skin every year.

They're in their 60's, so that's 60 layers...

I'm sure that's it.

Solo.

Are you enjoying the water?

Looks like you're doing great in here on your own...

I'll put a pajamas and a towel for you here, okay?

Okay.

Huh?

Why are there two sets?

Guess he put out two days' worth.

That was a close one.

She nearly saw the both of us.

Uh. The pajamas she brought...

Just wait for your turn tomorrow, Dali.

Ehh?

Why you have to wear a pajamas?

It's just...

At the orphanage, we never wore anything to bed.

Well...

I guess it's because pajamas feel homey,

and they help getting you ready for sleep.

Homey...?

That's right.

Because this is your home now, sweetheart.

And we are a family.

Mh...

There you go.

You have such pretty hair, Solo.

I hate my hair.

Why do you say that?

Because everyone at the orphanage

teased me and said it looks weird.

Sweetheart.

Being different from others just means you're unique.

Sardine's name is unique too, and he loves it.

Isn't that right, Sardine?

See?

And you know what?

If your hair is weird,

then my hair must be

the oddest thing anyone's ever seen!

Then I'm...

the oddestest!

Oddestest?

No, oddestestest!

You looked just like parent and child, Migi.

Ugh. Don't be creepy, Dali.

I'm creating a base for us, you know.

We need it to do our research.

Are you ready for the next stage?

Yeah. Let's head outside.

Solo?

Do you have a second?

Mom and Dad are heading out for a little.

It's just a little errand.

Oh, really?

Can I come with you?

Oh, well, uhm...

Sardine! Yes!

Sardine will be lonely if you go.

That's right, so we need you

to watch the house for us, okay?

Ah... Okay.

We'll get going, then.

They're definitely suspicious.

I think they're hiding something.

OUR ROOM

Well then...

This must be...

...their bedroom, for sure.

Migi.

I found something weird!

What is that?

It's... a triangle with strings?

I think I got it, Dali!

Let's do this.

It won't work inside the house.

The beast is chasing me!

Migi!

It wants to take the cloth!

That crazy animal...

Let's continue.

We'll go in that room next.

I think it's the old man's room.

Knock on my heart,

Those little fists, a shoulder massage.

It is worth the pain,

The joy I gain ride on my shoulder

The height of glee Striped pajamas.

Little Solo

Musty and stale,

a back so frail,

absolute fail.

We haven't really

found anything, huh?

Maybe they

really don't have any secrets.

Huh?

There's something in there.

Hm? Lemme see.

I knew it, Migi.

Look.

This is the old man.

And this beautiful woman that's with him...

One thing is for sure. It's not his wife.

Dali. Do you think...

He had an affair with her.

Why do you look so surprised?

You know that everybody

has secrets.

This room is the last one.

I think this room is

one big closet.

That's why they smell so musty.

Dali! Wait up!

What? Are you scared, Migi?

As if.

What's with the mask, though?

It helps with the stench in here.

Hm?

What is this place?

Something feels off.

Dali...

There's no air in here.

Please, I need air.

It's... It's human hair.

Why are these in here?

She's always touching my hair...

Do you think... this is why?

No! Let go!

You beast! Let go of him!

I said let go!

Was that a car?

They're back.

Do you think

it was trying to tell us?

Are you

asking to be our servant?

Hurry up, Dear.

We can't let him see us.

I know, I know.

That's suspicious.

We have to

make sure Solo doesn't find out before the welcome party.

Welcome party?

Of course.

When it hits three o'clock tomorrow,

I'll blindfold him.

I'll bring this out in front of him.
