Ekureiru - Kyoko's backstory is very telling, I think. From it, she was likely an outright Saint of a daughter at one time. Then, her own father condemned her for what she saw as objectively good deeds. For Kyoko, it had to have been an unbelievably bitter event that threw her entire moral understanding into chaos.

Now, I can see why her father made that condemnation, but I can also understand how a young girl could not fathom the theological concerns that likely lay behind the father's feelings there. Nonetheless, he obviously took things too far and emotionally snapped under the weight of intense guilt.

Ironically, Kyoko is probably the character in this anime that I now feel the most sorry for. Poor, poor girl...
