After Shinpei, Ushio, Nezu, and others counterattack, Haine and Shide are forced to retreat. Now, Shinpei and his allies try to bring Mio to their side.

In "Summer Time Rendering" Episode 16, Shinpei asks Mio who gave birth to her. She reveals that Mother Shadow Haine scanned the real Mio and later she was born in the cave.

Shinpei asks her if her mother is Haine in Shiori’s form and Mio confirms it.

He also asks if she was the one who cut the brakes of Mio’s bicycle. The real Mio confronts the shadow and asks if she was trying to kill her.

The gang continues questioning her about how the shadows function. They also want to know about copying. She reveals there are two types of copying.

The first one is called Transformation – it is replicating something with your own body and the second is childbirth, which results in splitting off a part of the body to manufacture a new shadow.
