This chapter sure was a breeze! I feel like we're getting some solid growth from Tokiko. One thing I'm starting to notice about this manga is that more than being generally about death, it seems to be about grief. I'm not sure if it's fully there, but so far there's a bit of a through-line in people's pasts about how they've processed the death of a loved one/trauma and how it motivates their current actions. Ryouko's other work explores death through a more pointed morality lens, so maybe I'm just reaching for some more concrete themes here. But Tokiko is becoming more of an agent and more empathetic (two chapters ago she called out Shiroki Ai for not having that emotional capacity, which surprised me) as a result of the most recent death she witnessed. Or at least that's my read on her at the moment. Very curious how the momentum of this chapter is gonna dovetail into the end of the last!

Well, well, how the turn tables...

It's pretty wild that Tokiko can confidently take a little girl as a hostage and leverage their life in a negotiation.

We also found that Sou essentially searched for atonement, reconciliation or something else through the killing of the Shiroki family and the "rescue" of their daughter...
