I think we're not looking enough at the issue of why people would want to gas or otherwise destroy a small village, anyway. That's not standard mercenary work, and somebody here is looking at the big picture, not focusing on individuals so much as we are (excepting Rika).

Spoiler:

k//eternal do you know ベアトリーチェ様? Join Date: Dec 2003 Age: 35	I think we're not looking enough at the issue of why people would want to gas or otherwise destroy a small village, anyway. That's not standard mercenary work, and somebody here is looking at the big picture, not focusing on individuals so much as we are (excepting Rika). Spoiler: I'd say it's pretty clear something's being covered up, and it's probably related to the weird mental instability associated with Hinamizawa. The first ep touched on this--the idea that there's a biological agent here seems very solid, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bioweapon that destroys without a trace, and which suddenly went out of control. Rika happens to know something about it, which is why she's going around with the needle--clearly not a vaccine, but perhaps a treatment, implying that everyone is already infected.
