FYI - Vol. 2 has 4 extra pages at the start of Chapter 8.

The chapters I’ve been releasing are from the monthly Aokishi mag (starting at ch. 5). Since Vol. 2 is a collected release, it’s got some changes and extra bits compared to the mag version. I’ve already updated those chapters to match the Vol. 2 version.

Anyone can explain the ending?
Why is the boy (Hiroto) become afraid of the MC?
I'm pretty sure MC is human all along.

For anyone who got confused at the ending: My interpretation is that the Nurse- MC is the delusional one and she image all these stuffs up her self just to justify her having the boy to replace her lost child. The reason i believe so is because of so many inconsistent things around the "Oni" or "the evil people":
1. The reason why she got hired: the bathroom spy scene is a self-reasoning story of her own to explain why: Fresh face from "Out-side"?
2. The "power" fluctuation of the "Oni": they either strangely weak and can be subdued easily just like normal weak human: the old woman that got stabbed and over powered by her then simply bled to death, the 2 "employees" that got sneak attack by the fat tsundere and passout, the weirdly screepy pregnant woman that show no actual threat even at the very end that got overwhelmed by the zombie mother (that MC previously was able to shook off no problem), then the "Evil smiling nurse" that is not death despite having her eyes falling out of her sockets and spine exposed.
3. The inconsistent of the "evil forces": there are so many jumps between the "evil mastermind" here: "Oni" old woman and pregnant daughter, then suddenly the "Devil" possessed smiling nurse. Both of which never actually caused any actual harm nor showing any superpower/ natural ability at all.
4. The sudden introduction of new "faces": Story begin with her being hired due to lack of man power, story ended with the company having several "in family" employees at the ready to take care of things.
5. The sign-language study that go no where: most of the thing results from her teaching the kid was her being recognized that she is the only one who truly care for him. The child never able to learn any from that yet, all "communication" between him and her was in writing (and from her guesswork on random pieces of papers the the child has write long before, probably unrelated to her at all)
6. The tsundere was also probally only her own invented persona - reading the part where she monologing and self-explainaing about how burning the mansion down and trash talking people is "so like me" -> the actions MC did was attributed to an imagine persona to make her own delusion more believable.
7. The fear of the child at the end is his instinct telling him that the MC is actually the same with the "Monster" in his drawing: possessive for her own selfishness only, not her true love for the child at all.

=> MC has an affair in her old workplace, has a miscarriage, develops mental problem then got fired. She is obsessive with having her child and has been looking around for work. She then got accepted for the role, hiding her mental problem but because of the mental problem she got paranoia and image crazy things on her own, it start as a scary corpse caring delusion at first, until she meets the boy, then her delusion changes into reasoning out a story about how the boy was a victim and food ration for "oni". The sick patient in reality is just having a disability and look quite normal, but MC create her own narrative about "not looking at her face" to reason for her careless about how the patient actually looks like/ who they are at all.
MC then got scared by her own delusion and steal the car to get away but then got caught by the old woman so she attack and killed her, MC then get back to the mansion, set fire to the building, kill the others nurses, took the boy, got extremely happy that she now has her own kid -> story end
