However, Shinji (Takehiro Hira), the owner of Rental Family, and his most committed employee, Aiko (Mari Yamamoto), dismiss these concerns by telling their foreign client he’ll never truly grasp Japanese culture or its people.

PLURIBUS’ Hive Mind Finally Gives Carol Hope She Can Reverse the Joining

The virus that connected everyone on the planet Pluribus into a single, shared mind is even more frightening than it appears.
