Just did two weeks of reading in two days because I can’t put the book down. That’s got to be a new record for me.
Also, this makes perfect sense because 育子 has always been 環ちゃん’s partner in crime. She’s always been the one to deliver her sister’s “victims”. And 育子 is passive enough that I’m sure she will carry it out if pushed into it. The only thing that could make it worse is if ミサキ is somehow drawn into it as well, which I haven’t entirely discounted yet.
Yup, if they’re going to die anyway why not take somebody out with them? For anybody who thinks a death penalty isn’t as bad as a birth penalty, becoming a 死に人 seems like a way to reap the rewards of the system at a discounted price (depending, of course, on how easily their tailer can stop them. Who knows when they would have stepped in?)
