Episode Title:
Frozen Time.
Episode Description:
Himiko goes back to the city of Nara, she spent her childhood to confirm whether a dream she had was real or not. She goes to her old home and sees it's been torn down; however, the place suddenly changes into an old but still on its feet Japanese home, with a ghastly room where a woman and her husband are frozen alive. Miyu shows up and says that this is actually her home and that she was normal until she turned thirteen years old, which is when she started craving blood and ultimately defeated Larva. She explains to Himiko that, after several days of confusion and agony (including her accidentally draining her classmate dry and killing her, and her human friend Akiko trying to offer her her own blood only to be turned away by Miyu's mother) she eventually figured out that her mother is a guardian shinma and her father is an immortal human, whom the mother exchanged blood with (like Miyu herself did with Miyahito). Miyu is summoned by the shinmas to become their new guardian, but she rejects her new nature as a vampire and runs away with her mother, refusing to drink blood again; the father remains there and is easily captured. Miyu is momentarily exhausted and dying for blood, so she gives in and drinks her mother's blood, making her collapse. The shinmas catch up with them and seal Miyu's parents away as punishment for disobeying: Miyu is told that the seal will be lifted if she can gather all the rogue shinmas, and because it may take centuries to accomplish, she is granted immortality and eternal youth. When Miyu is done with her story and disappears, Himiko is back to the empty spot and then she remembers another detail from her childhood. She remembers seeing Miyu when she was about five years old, and Miyu looked the exact same as she does now...
