It also reminded me a little bit of when he told her about "rebelling in secret" in the flashback of episode 2: Being outwardly obedient, even though you hold a differing opinion in your heart. At the time he was talking about the queerats, but I wouldn't by surprised if her father's feelings run more towards Saki's. He just recognizes the folly of disobedience better than she does.

I'm not, I mean sure if a regular teenage girl didnt go through all the crap that saki had I would understand, but saki should KNOW better, she should know that she's putting herself, her family, and her friends in a LOT of danger, hell even Satoru knew to not keep searching for shun at night and he was tryign to get the group to search for shun in the first place. It just annoys me a lot. . .when characters do stupid stuff like that I start rooting for them to get killed be being retarded. she probably has mc/narrator plot armor though, so her freinds/family will probably be killed or something. . .I'm pretty sure some people are going to get caught/killed...I just wish it was going to be saki. . .but since when has the narrator of a story been offed 1/4th of the way through lol Quote:

Before that...
Thank you. Quote:
What happened before that? She sees Subaru. If Subaru is here then... *Puts a happy face. She sees Shun lying on the grass. She smiles and attempted to approached him but woah! Satoru is there! They kiss but Shun sees her. And she runs away.. (achy heart, noh?) She gets to Maria. Maria misunderstood that and thought that Saki wants to flirt. Saki and Maria kiss but Shun again appears in her mind. She hugs Maria. Obviously... the italics has meanings..... |

Oh, I get your point here. Saki is clearly putting herself in serious danger. Yeah, her actions are highly questionable from a logical perspective. But Saki isn't being driven by logic. She's being driven by love (and, perhaps to some degree, justice). And I can't help but feel sympathetic towards someone fighting for love and justice.

But it being genetic has other implications: surely, the authorities would have watched Shun closer than the others? Or, if they knew early enough, they might have forbidden the parents to have children? Let's wait and see. |

ahh I can get behind that, It would explain her acting like that. Justice though. . .lol well she'd have to have a lot of PK power to enforce any kind of justice lol |

I will reiterate my earlier point that Saki has also learned that her parents and more or less every other adult in the world has been lying to her about many things since she was born. I would imagine that might affect how much respect she has for her parents at the moment.

It makes more sense that she is blinded by love for shun. . .a love so blinding it blinds her from common freaking sense. |

Hashimoto-Appelbaun obviously must be related to a number of factors like stress,social environment ,some pathology or possibly a genetic predisposition, the way of presenting it as "karma demon" and the "tale" told in chapter 2 is the way to bring this behavior to society in SSY , which is obviously highly Buddhist, they follow the rules and don´t have access to all information.

But in the moment, Saki just wants to save Shun. Who knows? Maybe Shun really has "snapped" a bit (think of how Satoru went megalomaniacal for a while there backing during the Queerat War arc), and is a "Karma Demon" in that sense. "Karma Demon" might simply mean a PK-Kid who has gone all Anakin Skywalker. If Saki can somehow bring Shun back from the brink of darkness, maybe the village will forgive them both? Wishful thinking, I know, but maybe this is what Saki is thinking/hoping on. Personally, I don't think that "Karma Demons" are entirely genetic, but nor do I think they're 'magical'. Rather, I think they represent PKers who became drunk on power, like a certain Emperor Delight we became acquainted with several episodes back. Shun is exceptionally powerful, but that might just mean he's uniquely vulnerable to this sort of potential corruption. I think there's some nice, solid hints given throughout this narrative that being a PKer can cause great psychological strain, and if you don't master excellent self-control/self-restraint, you can turn into a monstrous being (which would go a long way to explaining why this society is so utterly ruthless in eliminating problematic kids). The first PKer was a serial rapist/killer. Then we have those insanely destructive emperors. Then we have the stories of the "Karma Demons". Personally, I think that these are all pointing to the same thing - They're pointing to how PKers can easily go "to the dark side" in a very scary way.

I would think it highly fitting if ill, demonic Shun somehow came back and shredded the teaching staff apart into bloody chunks.....
Of course that won't happen. Because he would have more control than that *haiz* Quote:
She was being watched. Her father cannot do anything; it's only a matter of time before she and her group were hunted down and summarily executed or something. As for taking on the higher ups....No one she can gather or is on her side would be able to take them on in battle anyway. And at that point the only plausible faction who might aid her is Kiroumaru and his Giant Hornets. Approaching them is just foolish IMO given their unknown allegiance
