Besides, what real choice does Saki have?
As Saki herself recognized, Tomiko likely just saved Saki from being cat food. If nothing else, Saki should trust Tomiko to look out for Saki's best interests. And that alone actually makes Tomiko a rare and invaluable person in Saki's life, at least amongst the adults of this village. If Saki doesn't go along with what Tomiko wants, then Saki's likelihood of getting targeted for elimination goes way up, imo.

I don't see any reason not to trust Tomiko. She has been up front and complete honest about everything so fare so what reason would she have to lie now.

Can someone tell me what Maria spelled without a sound to saki?
If i'm not mistaking, the holy barrier is there in order to prevent natural leaks of the cantus (that the subconscious normally "uses") from going outside and tainting the world. As we have seen with Shun, a powerful leaking cantus changes the creatures (see the dog) and 2 cantus users free in the world can generate a creature that is dangerous to the village (actually, in the first episode, i thought that the guy that went gathering herbs created subconsciously the fiend, and then the newly generated monster followed him to the village's bridge). Their leaking cantus for sure is not as powerful as Shun's, but in the long run it may happens. Already many newly creatures generated in just 1000 years, too low of a timespan for the evolution to work (in a resemblance between the effects of the leaking cantus in Shin Sekai Yori and the effect of the radiations for the development of Earth's life in Asimov's books) Ps: it's shi-fi as long as it gives reasonable answers only based on the premises of the book to events. If Tamiko was so long-living because some god made her like that, it would become fantasy, but the author explained in a rational way this fact. And one of the reasons i like this show so much is because of how every time the author gives an explanation, it is so rational and plausible given the world in which it is settled |

Of course, there's nothing to stop the author from saying that Tomiko used her Cantus to keep herself fertile. |

Btw I'm not saying that Tomiko is lying to Saki, just that at this point she could've told her anything and Saki would've done it without a second thought. Look at the effect she had on Hiromi. Imagine what she could do to ordinary people. Quote:
It's there so people focus their subconscious "outside" and not "inside." They're conditioned to equate the outside with a great, scary unknown where akki lurk. This way their subconscious projects their fears, uneasiness, etc. outside, along with their excess power. So the leaking power don't contaminate the "human world" but the outside world.

No - he thinks she's his grandma. As far as everyone knows, she's his grandma. (Do you think Tomiko goes around telling her real age to everyone? Well, I don't remember if it's mentioned if those "in the know" know her real age/position.) She's just a very distant grandma - even in ep 11 Satoru started out saying "grandmother" and then amended it to "Asahina Tomiko-san", and later on in the book he calls her Tomiko-san.

Although using Hiromi as an example does not really credit her seeing what a....dysfunctional nut Hiromi is

Nice info-dump episode. It keeps me thrilled for the next. A build-up at its finest.
Well, if in the 13th episode thread I was disappointed to find Mamoru was okay, right now I’m hyped to see what he’ll become in the next episode: a fiend, a survivor, or cat food .

The return of Squealer is never a good sign. Those preview words are enough to let the audience know the shit has hit the fan. And knowing what happens next....man, this episode dropped some MAJOR foreshadowing. Those who are only watching the anime will look back at episode 14's conversations and wonder how they missed it.
Also, wtb power to regenerate, kthx. Tomiko's influence isn't just knowledge, but experience. I would not be surprised if she was the most powerful Cantus user in the village. If she's had almost 300 years to practice, imagine what else she could do. I'd imagine some of it required the mental strength to endure that she expects/hopes from Saki. Quote:

Well, shit hits the fan next ep I guess. For me, this episode conveys the tragedy of the society they live in better than the episode of Shun's death.
I guess I saw Tomiko's revelation coming - I mean she looks way too young to be anybody's mother much less grandmother, even for anime.

Even if she looks unbelievably young for her age, she still looks older than your average "mother of teenager" characters in anime. And she definitely looks the part for a younger grandma.
