WHAT DO YOU MEAN AFTER THAT ENDING IT STILL HAPPENS. THAT'S NOT FAIR OMG. I was like okay yes crisis averted. NOT QUITE THOUGH.

I have to say I'm really happy that I went into this completely blind. I'd seen some people say that Higurashi is something it absolutely isn't leading up to silent hill f coming out. And it really hasn't been that at all.

I do wonder if I'm anywhere close with any of these theories. Guess I'll find out later.

Like it never feels INTENTIONAL that he's causing them to go crazy. It feels like he wants to further his own plan to take down the Sonozaki family by any means necessary. So he uses people like tools to do that. But I don't think he means to cause those people harm. I think he just doesn't care.

It's just weird that she gave her scrapbooks to two different people and that's caused their descent. Ooishi has for sure done it more than twice but there's just something about him that makes me feel like maybe he's just not thinking things through all the way.

And it might be a red herring but I'm really thinking that maybe in each one she's not dead. Maybe in each iteration she's trying to further the descent into madness of the main characters. I just don't know WHY SHE WOULD. And what is she doing if she isn't dead.

I'm also going to go all in on either him being the main villain. Or somehow Miyo being the main villain. Like she's dead almost the whole time in each one. But it's really weird to me that they've referenced her body being dead for a whole 24 hours before the festival.

I have this other back and forth theory about Ooishi maybe also somehow retaining consciousness. But idk. I think it's more plausible that there's something about this iteration of the world that's different. And he doesn't actively know but maybe things just slip into this world easier.

But to get confirmation that Yes she is in fact experiencing all of these things again and again and keeping her consciousness between different cycles is very satisfying. Because I've had this theory in my mind since I think chapter 2?

Going into this completely blind I thought "Huh, she sure does seem to know a lot more than she should" and in the last chapter, the whole Sh/Mion her syringe moment was almost complete confirmation that yes, she knows more than the others.

MAJOR HIGURASHI SPOILERS BELOW. Idk if it matters but I wanted to at least try to give the heads up.

Listen this isn't the first instance of it I don't think. But I think this is the first time the story has been absolutely clear about what's going on.

None of the others have done that to me but there's something about s*lf h*rm that just fucks me up.

But it's like I'll finish a chunk and have to stop for a few days for mental health reasons lol. There's a description of a certain action that I had to stop for like a week because lol.

I've been on Tsumihoroboshi for a little bit. I'm really liking it but the themes in this one are hitting a little different then the others and it's been a bit harder for me to actually get through. Really like how the narrative is split up. Really like the text color change too.

The fashion is honestly soooo good. I'm more than down too. I've had the urge to play again so this might be the final push. I can't remember if you can add offline players or not but my characters name is Xilom feel free to add me :3

So fair, I think if I didn't play in waves I'd be so burnt out. I always figured I'd move on but there's something that always sucks me back to the game.

Oh wow! Did you ever play before this year or are you like BRAND new to mabi then? I have been going since the beta and new players seem to be few and far between now :0

Have you played since they added in the new Scythe Talent in mabinogi?

I think it's only a total of 14 hours if I add up just play time.
