Spoiler for meeting with Shiki (I think part 5?) (Also spoilers for book 1)
Shiki said that the first time she met Moe she was pure, the second time she was covered, and now she’s in between. Anyone know/remember what she was referring to? (I barely remember the first book.) My recollection is that Shiki only really met Moe once, when posing as her sister (since one of the big twists was that the “Shiki” Moe meets in the first scene is actually the daughter). Even if Shiki was counting the meeting between Moe and the daughter, I wouldn’t have expected Moe to be much different between that meeting and when she went to the island for the murders… Obviously the big turning point in Moe’s life was her parents’ death, so I could understand it if Shiki was talking about before and after that, but I don’t think Shiki ever met Moe before that.
Spoiler for body drop (pun not intended) (I think part 9?)
I thought for sure Hanawa was gonna get got, RIP Matsumoto
Well that was a strong start! Moe doesn’t usually get herself nearly killed until way later in the book. I also expected Magata Siki’s involvement to be revealed to our protagonists at the end… But no, they learn she’s there in chapter 1 and meet her in chapter 2. That escalated quickly.
That’s a good point on the reference to book 1. I don’t remember it that well either so no idea.
I don’t have much to add except that if I were staying at Disneyland and found out the CEO was harboring a supervillain, I probably wouldn’t trust the payphone in front of the hotel
