I don't understand anything anymore, but one thing hasn't changed since the beginning: I still hate the main character. She's so "meh"! I really hope she dies at the end~lol
Thks for the translation~

Just a heads up: For those who’ve already read the original novel, please avoid posting any spoilers here. Let’s keep the discussion focused on the manga! Thanks.

I see myself quite a lot in the main character, I really enjoy feeling her pain and inadequation lol

 

[feignedremoteness]

good on her for sensing that she shouldn’t tell on Hiroto-kun

 

[EchoGirl]

'close with' does this mean that nurse knew the old lady when she was 'normal'/she wasn't always like that?

ah i knew she had a miscarriage but didn't remember the affair part, oof

good on her for sensing that she shouldn’t tell on Hiroto-kun

I hope hiroto-kun ends at least one of the nurses lol

looks like she's been used like an expendable caretaker in a high risk situation, so they keep her in the dark and "replace" her as soon as she's a liability.

Still though. You can see why it's necessary to have her as the partial perspective here, right? She's timid, avoids speaking up, but has the sort of righteous curiosity and inner turmoil that leads her to unexpectedly act in exactly the wrong situations. The atmosphere of the story relies on cultivating that sense of mystery, of paranoia, lack of information, where frantic dreams and noises heard at night become something strange and fantastical. It's a very tenuous balance. She's just about the only person who could reasonably walk that tightrope blindly without realizing there's one at all.

I think you’ve drastically overestimated that commenter’s ability to understand nuance.

Me personally, I like her for the reasons you said too.

My guess is that this whole thing is a ritual cycle. The monstrous Kiwako is a former caretaker herself, as we just saw in this chapter. So whatever they are doing in that mansion will end up in a "sacrifice" where one of the caretakers is magick'd or whatever into that ghoul-like being. For one reason or another the ghoul will die on her own after some time hence the constant change of personnel and the ghoul's name, because the agency has to constantly look for new "vessels". Hikita and Kumakawa are weird as fuck because they've seen a lot of that shit but for some reason were never chosen to be the ghoul. As for why they bother converting these women into ghouls - I honestly have no idea, but it might be a cult.

And from Kumakawa's actions in this chapter, I'm starting to see her in a new light. The way she tried so hard to get Akane fired might be her attempting in a roundabout way to save her from being the next vessel, because it's pretty obvious now that Akane was only hired exactly for that. Her room was Kiwako's old room, even. Perhaps Kumakawa saw a bit of her old self before all this shit in her or something.

Man I keep forgetting there’s an original novel of this. Think I’m gonna go and see it there’s a translation because this series has me in it’s grip.

 

[gundulgondrong]

'final night'?

I was confused thinking why does it matter if she had a miscarriage until I realized that if she can get involved with her co-worker in romance and things happen then it will effect how they take care of the body....

I totally I get it as I do dislike the bland MCs. Most are utterly boring and make you want to look at the other characters.... However, I do like this MC because of the fact she is bland. We know nothing about this place and she's basically a fill-in for the readers in just what is going on. Yes, she does have secrets of her own except she is basically what we would do. She is how we would want to help everyone around.

I think she is meant to be relatable as we all have once ran away from our problems and have secrets we don't want to tell.
