Naota looked at the seemingly endless noodle of ramen in front of him. He wasn't in Haruko's womb...he was in her stomach! She had eaten him! As Naota stared blankly at the ramen noodle, another ramen noddle fell down beside him. He ran to the "shore" as fast as he could to avoid being hit by the falling ramen. Then, he heard Haruko let loose a loud but short burp.
It was pitch black within Haruko's stomach, yet Naota was getting used to the light. He could see--although dimly--what was happening to the ramen. It was slowly melting away in the lake of stomach acid. It was a digusting sight, seeing the ramen turn into formless goo. Well, at least he wasn't turning into that goo. Naota thought he heard Ninamori talking, but the voice was muffled.
"Now what?" asked Naota to himself.
"[Liking your new home, my son?]" Haruko's mocking voice said in his head.
"Not really..." said Naota.
"[Don't worry]" said Haruko. "[you'll come out soon]"
Suddenly, the whole lake of stomach acid turned into a giant whirlpool. Even the 'shore' that Naota was on was slowly sinking into the lake, thus into the whirlpool. Naota gasped and tried to back away, preventing himself to go into the whirlpool.
"[There's only one way out of my stomach]" said Haruko's mocking voice. "[and it'll be quite a ride! Hop in!]"
"You gotta be kidding!" yelled Naota.
"[Come on, it won't be so bad]" said Haruko.
"Easy for you to say, 'mom'" said Naota.
The 'shore' was almost completely submerged in the whirlpool, and Naota was standing on a tiny patch of the 'shore' that was left. Knowing that he had no choice, Naota shrugged and stepped into the whirlpool.

"Good news" said Haruko. "Tak-kun is on his way out"
"Oh goody!" said Ninamori, who went back to watching TV. Haruko stroked her belly and smiled that insane smile she has.

Haruko's intestines were smaller than her stomach was. The intestines were a fleshly pinkish tube that seemed endless to the boy that was currently in it. The remains of the ramen were being absorbed by the intestine, while Naota was safe. He was moving at a steady pace, not too fast or too slow. Naota was glad that the ramen remains were being absorbed by the intestines...he didn't want to be surrounded by Haruko's feces!
