What, I... I was hoping that M was the human and Emu the bugster, but it's Parad who is M? And Emu is just the doctor? What this episode ending suggesting really confuses me. I was hoping it'll be the route where Emu was the competitive gamer who lacked the humanity that M, the bugster, has provided. Considering how the theme of harmless bugster in this series, that will be the biggest plot point to cement that idea.

Maybe Parad was the initial virus created by Dan, but it escaped the body and manifested itself to a physical being, while Emu is really the antibody created after infection. This might explain why Emu is far more humane and empathetic, while before M wasn't. And the reason why Parad desires to fight Emu was because he believes M's body is his rightful host.
