Tokiko introduces Haine as the mother of shadows to Shinpei, Sou and Ushio in "Summer Time Rendering" Episode 12.
The official website has released the synopsis and spoiler stills of Episode 12, which is titled "Bloody Night." The synopsis suggests Tokiko reveals corpses are a crucial source of food for the shadows and she has been procuring dead bodies for Haine.
She also reveals that Haine, the kimono girl, is a god named Hiruko. Shinpei and Sou remember seeing her for the first time at the shrine on the day of the summer festival.
Later in "Summer Time Rendering" Episode 12, Shinpei and his friends learn that Ushio’s dead body was stolen from her funeral and now Haine is ready to consume it.
Can Shinpei, Sou and Ushio stop her from stealing the body?
It is likely that Ushio's shadow might use her body to print a new arm for her. Meanwhile, Shinpei is expected to carry out a surprise attack against Haine and Tokiko.
