Maelstrom Shadow-Mio disappears and the woman introduces herself as Nagumo Ryuunosuke who is there to save him. She reveals how to tell Shadows apart from humans; since their true form is the shadow flat on the ground and not the fake body above it. Shinpei rushes to the shrine and finds everyone killed by a Giant-Shadow. Giant-Shadow identifies Shinpei's eye as the eye of their Mother, which controls time. Shadow-Ushio still insists she is human and rejects her fellow Shadows. Mio is disintegrated. Giant-Shadow absorbs the other Shadows and disintegrates all the dead humans, sending out a massive Shadow in every direction that disintegrates every human on the island. A red light appears over the shrine as Mother awakens, a young girl Nagumo recognizes as someone called Haine. With everyone dead Shinpei pleads for Nagumo to kill him so he can start over. Giant-Shadow tries to stop them but he is stopped by Shadow-Ushio, allowing Nagumo to shoot Shinpei in the head, declaring next time she will definitely save him. As he flies back in time, Ushio once again tells him to save Mio. Arriving back on his first day he realizes the distance he can travel back is slowly shrinking as he now appears not on the ferry or even the docks, but almost arriving at Mio's house. With three days until Mother's resurrection he is determined to do it right this time.
