Their Home (2) (かれらのいえ②, Kare-ra no Ie) is the second part of the 141st chapter of the Fumetsu no Anata e manga.

Summary
Bonchien relays to everyone what Izumi just said about not wanting to save her daughter. Yuki encourages her not to give up yet as they could still save Mizuha by making it so that she wants to live again. Fushi asks if Izumi wanted to die because Nokkers only dwell inside those who do. He then asks if Izumi knew that Mizuha wanted to die too. Izumi tells him she didn't know about Mizuha but she did realize she raised her daughter incorrectly.

As a child, Izumi was obstinate and stubborn. At school, she's made fun of for her family being in a cult.

Izumi hated that her family ran a cult. One day after being bullied at school, she comes home to her father and asks him when he's going to quit the cult. He ignores her and tells her to have faith as they has been endowed with the protection of the Lord. Her father tells her to that if she believes, one day they'll be granted the same power that their ancestor, Hayase, held and use it to save the pitiful masses. Izumi retorts back that Hayase's power was actually a Nokker, enemy of mankind. Her father picks up the scripture and lectures her that the Nokker that dwelled within Hayase was holy and fought alongside Fushi to defend Renril and bring the world peace. He tells her when the world seeks peace again, Hayase's Nokker will return to them and they'll carry out their mission as the Guardians. He throws the scripture at Izumi and demands that she read it closer as she'll be the next head.

Over the years, Izumi would lead the cult's service as instructed. One day in her teenage years, her mother passes away. During the funeral, her father introduces to her fiancé, Chamihiko, a much older man and their most devoted member. Izumi is sickened by this as her mother just died. Her father tells her she has to keep their family bloodline going so it's better to have children early and her daughter will be the eighteenth successor. Izumi is disgusted by this and runs away, knowing it's her only chance to escape, and never came back.

Years later, she marries Mizuha's father and gives birth to Mizuha. While the family is out for a walk, Izumi's father appears out of nowhere congratulating Mizuha's birth. Izumi is shocked by this and the police intervene. She then decided that she was going to raise her daughter to be better than anyone else to prove them all wrong. Izumi saw Mizuha as the ultimate proof that her decision to leave the cult was correct as Mizuha could do and learn anything.

One night as the parents watch Mizuha sleep, Mizuha's father comments to Izumi that he's so proud of his daughter and thinks she's got what it takes to be the eighteenth successor. Mizuha's father realizes what he just let slip out and Izumi freaks out. Mizuha is awakened to her parents fighting. Izumi yells at her husband saying that he tricked her and that he was part of the Guardians this whole time. She wonders how much her father paid him to do this but he denies this and says he truly loves her and that everything is a coincidence. He tells Izumi that he hid that fact from her because he knew she would hate him for it. Mizuha then walks out and her father uses her to prevent Izumi from divorcing him. Not wanting to Mizuha to be upset, Izumi decides to stay with her husband. However, all those events made Izumi deeply depressed so much so that she wanted to die. Mizuha finds her mother depressed in the dining room and asks her what she can to to make her mother want to live. Izumi tells her to try everything and become the best at them. Mizuha tells her mother she'll try her best if it makes her mother happy.
