----------------------------------------
Those people put their faith in Key to revive the boy. Had she been powerless, then regardless of the truth they would have felt betrayed. They'd already rejected reality to substitute their faith, and might have turned hostile if the boy died, so the only safe response was for Key to cure him. In a way its like the people hold their idols hostage.

I'm curious as to how Sakura knows Key is in trouble, and also how that white-haired guy is so tough. Right now I suspect Key has sent out telepathic communication to Sakura, like she supposedly does with the guardian guy, and that white-haired guy is on drugs.

Oh wow that ending sure was impressive! I do wonder what kind of "power" Key actually holds, but to save that boy from who knows what it sure is interesting! Let's see what will happen next!

I noticed that whenever Key exerts her "power" she becomes more human and emotional. Now, we still don't know what that power is, but it occurs whenever a whole bunch of people hope for her success in something (surviving dangling from a ledge, saving the boy, etc.).

Nice catch, and that actually makes a lot of sense considering the 30,000 friends thing. She would have the power at all times to sustain a human body.

Glad something finally happened. They found Key at long last, and my bet is on Sergei. He surprisingly lasted a while with the robot chocking him to death when it was already well-established that the robots as heavy metal kills people quite easily multiple times. I mean you'll think his neck would be crushed by then. This along with the needles that didn't make him numb like it was supposed to probably means he isn't human. I don't have much else to add, most was build up to that one scene when something happened. They had to get Key to his place, give him a reason to think she had powers, and an excuse for her to show it again, so Sergei could come among other things.

-That scene where Key was begging for help and saying that he wouldn't be a nuisance anymore was pretty sad. It made me feel really bad for Key.
-I was really shocked when she actually healed him. And the OST really fit the feeling of the scene.
-The Priest insisting on protecting Key was a really nice touch. These people may be creepy cultists, and I thought the Priest dude was going to be a generic evil occult leader, so it was really interesting to see them show him as a good guy.
Overall, I am adoring this series so far. I have no idea why it has a 7.01

Is key a human or a God? Who is the priest lady? I love how D walked up in there and just shot people.

I like the visuals for the humanization where iron gets replaced by blood, vessels, bones and organs. Her powers came into affect too. The trigger was again a call for help/hopeless situation and people praying. Looking forward to get furher explanation regarding how this exactly works.

What's also noteworthy is that Sergei always has to log out from the PPOR under great pain whenever that happens.

Shit went really down towards the end, dang. Key gushing out blood and a decent body count. I didn't expect that.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
