The two parasites aren’t the same species, but are symbiotic in nature. Without the “old man next door” the villager parasites will just mature without being harvested, and I hypothesise that without the villager parasites the “old man next door” parasite won’t mature.So this parasite with Psychedelics properties multiply in sub host then offer the sub host to the main host?
Cannibalism or all of the parasites will merge with the adult inside main host?
What happen to the village now that the adult parasite is gone?
Main host creation arc next trust the plan.

Maybe shes gonna shit in the supposedly cleaned water part in water treatment facilities around japan.To spread the parasite worm eggs.So...bets on what the parasitic mind-altering tapeworm will do with a fully mobile and strengthened body?
doesn't the parasite make the host seemingly immortal/un-ageing? could be part of itOkay, but what's their end goal here? For what reason would they go to such lengths to study this thing? Are they trying to figure out how it messes with people's perception so that they can figure out mind control or something? Or is it just for the sake of understanding it?
In chapter 17-18 they explained it's basically research for immortality.Okay, but what's their end goal here? For what reason would they go to such lengths to study this thing?
