Plot
Haruki is first seen at Shinichi's house during a meeting with his father. He draws an accurate picture of Kazuyuki's description of a parasite.

He is later seen asleep on a couch when his sister comes home, waking him up. He notices his sister looking at the sketch of the parasite he made earlier and quickly takes it away from her. After Yuko begins asking questions, he admits to the existence of the monsters in order to protect her. He reassured her that they are far and few between and that the likelihood of her encountering one is slim.

In the manga he also mentioned wanting to capture a parasite alive, accidentally spurring Yuko to try to talk to Hideo Shimada.
