Episode 12 in six letters: OMG! WTF?
(^_^)
One of the best so far, really this series is not what I expected...
Spoiler
:
Psychotic hallucination on Keiichi's part, or doppelganger deamon?
Actually, between this episode and the chapter resets now I'm thinking there's a third option - some kind of parallel reality thing going on. Keiichi's got some kind of Sliders/Quantum Leap ability going on (Not that I've seen either show really so maybe it's a bad example). In other words Keiichi (and others) are somehow slipping between parallel realities.
A simple doppelganger/demon doesn't explain why it was raining for Keiichi and Takano the night of the festival but not for everybody else. If Keiichi's just goining insane then why does the show keep resetting, and how do "the dead walk"?
Some kind of multiple reality thing could explain why Takano would remember Keiichi and it might explain some of the other timing paradoxes in the previous chapters if the girls are also shifting realities...
Of course this ability to shift realities is ultimately going to be tied to the history of the demon's curse, the flowers, the cicadas, and geting bonked on the head! (^_-)
