That driver should have run himself off the road . I mean who does he think he is? Rika's safety obviously comes before him and a truck.

She's lost, clueless, as she confronts the nightmare of purposeless existence that we all face every day. Welcome to the real world, Rika.
Well do think the situation is more different for Rika than the average person. It has been a really long time since she has been put into a situation this alien to her. After repeating so many times you can't help leaning on that predictability. Rather this is more like being dropped into a foreign environment and told to adapt. This will be tough since it is so much more different than any world she's been in. Fighting for her survival was difficult, but here there doesn't seem to be anything she can do. She can't drag Keiichi from where he is or change the dam situation.

I guess this world should be given credit for passing a world without Keiichi as a worst case scenario. Even the basic bonds with the rest of her friends are either absent or substantially weaker here. It's not a bad world overall and even for the Rika who would have been living there it would be fine. But for a Rika who has fought to survive with her friends this fails instantly.
