I dont know if i miss something.I could answer a lot of questions but i dont know why Rika gets every time a second chance.I mean who makes the different worlds?Why it cant end or the story could go on when the whole village is dead?

Another question: The first episode of the Kai series where the older Rena is.Is this an alternate ending or something?

Sorry for these dumb questions and my bad english and thx for answers.

Spoiler for Kai:

Alternate worlds / parallel universes in the form of kakera exist in the Higurashi world, there's an infinite number of them. Sort of like Schoredinger's Cat. A spirit-god named Hanyuu (who is technically Oyashiro-sama) has the ability to travel between these worlds, taking Rika along with her since Rika is the 8th generation of the Furude lineage (the 8th generation is considered the true reincarnation of Oyashiro-sama). Whenever Rika dies, Hanyuu takes Rika's soul to the next world while the previous world's Hinamizawa either dies or just goes on.

The 1st episode of Kai is a direction continuation of Tsumihoroboshi-hen, 24 years later in the Heisei Era. The 2nd episode of Kai has absolutely nothing to do with the Tsumihoroboshi-hen world.

I might have left some stuff out or have messed up some of the minor details, correct me if I'm wrong.
