so wow. we go from the most horrific episode 16 to the most too-good-to-be-true episode 17.
I was waiting (as was Rika) for that plot-twist… and it happened in the last second.
As a Higurashi fan this is shivering-awesome.
And the next arc “Satokowashi” hen… that word play right?
Sato = village. Kowashi = destroy.
Satoko = Satoko = the village’s child.
(also NB Satoshi = village person).
Episode 16 and 17 was a buildup to this… something with Satoko but what?
