When I entered the study, I was sometimes talking to myself, sometimes hysterical."

"When my parents rushed to my brother, he was already very ill. Several people couldn't hold him down and yelled some crazy words. He said that Gazin was not his wife, but was pretending to be Gazin and staying by his side.

Something unknown and terrifying.”

"My parents said that when Gazin was at a loss when he heard his brother say those crazy things, he was stunned and just cried."

"My parents sent my brother to the hospital. After diagnosis, the doctor confirmed that my brother had a very rare disease - Capgras delusional syndrome. He is..." Mr. Esaki's speech became difficult again, "...the disease

Already."

Capgras delusion, also known as "imposter syndrome", is a type of paranoid schizophrenia.

Medically, this symptom is usually caused by damage to the line of visual information from the fusiform back to the amygdala to the limbic system. The core manifestation is that the patient believes that someone close to him or her is being raped by another "person who looks and behaves the same way."

” Impersonated or replaced.

After the symptoms appear, patients have a high degree of insecurity and are often accompanied by violent tendencies.

This is mentioned in the information on Ezaki Nagayasu in the hands of Kamiya and Onizuka.

Based on what Mr. Ezaki just said orally, his brother's behavior after he became ill is more specific.

It sounds like Ezaki Nagayasu's consciousness suddenly collapsed and he suffered from schizophrenia after being exposed to a certain folklore research content.

But to put it bluntly, it seems... reasonable that folklorists would go crazy after being exposed to folklore content that they shouldn't be exposed to?

I just don’t know what Ezaki Changyasu saw before he went completely crazy.

The folklore materials he finally studied should be very important.

"A week after my brother was sent to the hospital, my parents took me to see him."

"At that time, he had already taken sedative drugs and was completely unconscious. But when I walked to the bedside, for some reason, my brother who was still sleeping suddenly opened his eyes. He twisted his body and grabbed me

hands, roaring at me——"

"Jijia! They don't believe me, you have to believe me! The current Kazu is definitely not the Kazu we know! She has been replaced by something. Although they look the same, speak with the same voice, and even smell the same

It’s all the same, but the current Gazin is not the real Gazin, believe me, believe me!”

Mr. Ezaki will never forget what his brother looked like at that time——

His face was distorted, his eyes widened, and the bulging eyeballs reflected madness and fear. His pupils were completely unfocused and beating wildly, as if he was looking for some unreachable phantom.

His body seemed to be controlled by an invisible force and was shaking uncontrollably. The sound was sharp and harsh, like an iron sheet scratching across glass, full of sharp pain.

"I've never seen my brother like that... I've never seen him like that. He was so sick that I didn't dare to get close. I was frightened at the time. I was so scared that I threw away my brother's hand and hid in my parents' house.

Behind him. Then the doctor entered the ward and injected my brother with sedatives... and then he finally calmed down."

"My brother stayed in the hospital for a year."

"Gazin was really sad during that time. Even as a child at the time, I could see it. But she still loved her brother. She was really a good woman."

"She has been taking care of her brother, giving him water and food, talking to him softly, and the family will take turns to visit him. Although he is not very awake most of the time due to the effects of sedative drugs, he

His condition has improved a lot.”

"So the doctor gave us a choice. Continue to stay in the psychiatric hospital, or take my brother home and take good care of him with medication."

"My parents left this decision to Kazu."

"Gazin's choice was the latter. She brought her brother back to the house where they lived together."

"Then...that thing happened. My brother had only been home for half a month...he threw himself into the sea and died in Wakasa Bay."

Ezaki Tekka's tone changed from sadness to pain:

"Witnesses who were at the bay at the time saw their brother dragging a bloody woman, who was not sure whether she was dead or alive, from the back seat of his car and pushing her down the cliff of the bay. He was hysterical on the edge of the cliff.
