After Mana is struck by a truck, Doctor Shiina claims she survived but secretly takes her body to Sawa’s home in Mermaid’s Forest. Shiina intends to transplant Mana’s arm onto Towa, who has a deformed limb, but Mana revives during the procedure. Yuta discovers the deception and follows Shiina to the house, where he is attacked by a Deformed dog and imprisoned in the basement. Towa plans to kill Mana to transplant her head onto the body. Sawa frees Yuta, revealing she and Towa are identical twins. Sawa gave Towa mermaid blood medicine to cure a terminal illness, which granted immortality but caused physical deformities. Their father concealed Towa’s condition by claiming she had died and keeping her locked away until his death.
