People always miss the main point, don't they?
groaning about all the alternative methods for saving Natalie is useless to understand what Gen wants to say
in these two eps, he wanted to ask the audiences (readers):"You are willing to sacrifice one to save many people. BUT, what if the "one" is your loved one and the "many" is mere strangers?"
Yes, I believe that are many ways to bring Natalie back from the situation
but this is dodging the question and leave it unanswered
Gen really wanted to slam the question onto our face and force us to answer it
thinking about the plot-hole and alternatives is ok but we should focus on what he wanted to present
he also showed us his opinion that both "yes" (kill Natalie) or "no" (let Shirley go) will make him (us) suffer
then, what is that "justice"? where that "justice" is found? Should we still stick with that "justice"?
this is only an age-old moral dilemma and re-told by Gen
and I think he is good at doing it
10/10
