Parasyte -the maxim- (寄生獣 セイの格率)

Not long ago, someone on Earth had a passing thought...

I have failed...

This is unfortunate.

What? What's unfortunate?

Be quiet.

What a dream...

That was the worst night's sleep...

Did you find that "worm" of yours?

My hand feels kinda numb.

Well, probably because you wrapped your headphone cord around it last night.

Can I... Can I just have toast.

No, sir! You need to eat a proper breakfast.

Come on, gimme a break! I had a rough night.

That's because you stayed up too late.

Hm?

Relax, it's just a spider.

Seriously, Shinichi,

when are you gonna get over this silly fear of bugs?

At the latest meeting of the OECD...

At... the... latest... meeting of the O-E-C-D...

Daddy! Where's Mommy?

I need something to eat.

Daddy! Where's Mommy?

I need something to eat.

Hi-yaa!

Murano?!

Ah, don't act surprised.

What do you mean?

Come on, you obviously knew I was sneaking up behind you.

Ah, no, I didn't!

Huh?

Uh...

Oh my God, oh crap!

I'm so sorry!

I didn't mean to, I swear.

I mean I...

Real nice, Shinichi. Real nice!

What the heck were you thinking?

Yuko...

I don't know what's wrong with me.

Ah man, I am off today...

S'there a problem with your hand?

Uh... no.

It's fine.

What the...?!

What the hell is going on?!

Shinichi!

Is everything alright?!

Help me!

What the hell is going on in here?

What are you doing to your arm?

There's... There's something in it!

A worm or something!

A what?!

A worm?

Ah, you've gotta be kidding me.

I'm telling you the truth!

It's like it burrowed a hole right into my arm!

Uh-huh...

Okay, son, let's have a look at it then.

Look! It's right... Huh?

Okay, son, please don't tell me that you are on drugs.

No, no, I'm not! I swear!

Honestly, sweetie, don't scare us like that.

That's weird...

Doesn't even hurt or anything.

It felt so real.

I couldn't have just imagined the whole thing, right?

Shinichi!

Hm?

Hmm...

Uh... ah...

Hmm?

Huh?

My lecture not riveting enough for ya?

I think you're aware that the use of cell phones is not permitted during class hours.

I thought I turned it off, and... and I...

Yes?

Sorry, sir.

Huh?

Uh, Murano, about this morning...

Looks like she's still pretty pissed off.

Okay, look, because you're my friend and I'm such a wonderful person, I'll go and apologize for you.

Really? Thanks, Yuko.

But first you have to tell me if you're okay.

Because well... you don't look so good.

Yeah...

I don't really feel so good either.

I think I'm gonna ask the teacher if maybe I can go home.

There's no way my hand could just move on its own could it?

I mean, after that thing from last night, I don't know what to think.

Oh, my God, thank goodness you're okay!

Is that Shinichi?

Well, he's home early.

I don't know how the hell you got in there...

but you're coming out!

How very unfortunate.

I... right hand... failure.

F-failure?

What did you do to my hand?

I have... I have eaten it. Gone.

I am, uh... new to talking your language.

You must teach me, Shinichi.

Just what are you?

So tired. I sleep now.

Huh?! Wait a minute! You've got to answer some questions first!

Hey! Come on, wake up!

Shinichi? Is everything all right?

Hello? Shinichi?

No! Don't come in!

I'm fine...

Everything's fine!

How can I even search for something like this?

I mean who ever heard of something like this ever happening to anyone before?

Shinichi! Dinner's ready!

I got a call from the school today.

They said you left early.

Oh yeah? Something happen?

Nothing much.

Just felt a little sick, that's all.

Anything serious?

Nah.

Oh? You want seconds?

You must feel better.

So you don't feel well, but you still have an appetite, huh?

Well, I'm feeling better now.

What's the big deal?

I can't tell Mom and Dad about this...

They'll think I'm crazy.

I love you, love yooou!

Ah, face.

Oh, God...

Ha! Too many drinky drinks!

Huh?

Nakamura! You left your laundry outside in the rai...

Actually...

I can't tell anyone about this.

If I went to the police, they'd probably put me away for the rest of my life.

And if I went to a doctor, I'd just end up being their freakshow.

Then everyone would know.

I don't know what to do.

Hey.

Wake up.

Is it morning?
