** Even worse, Maru and Kiruko don't discover and destroy Shiro's Hiruko core. Shiro is doomed to turn into a monster, a fate his wife was desperate to avoid.

** Mimihime's death can be seen as a MercyKill as she lived years of her life in absolute agony and pain. The last thing we see of her was her final emotional tear. Another possible way to see it is that Mimihime knew that if she died before Maru appeared, she would transform into a Hiruko monster and with her hightened sense of hearing and foresight would make the Hiruko nearly impossible to defeat by Maru. So she likely endured all the months and years to save everyone else. Making her death a true act of self-sacrifice for her husband and hundreds of others.
** Given that Ohma died long before Mimihime and Shiro and transformed into a Hiruko. It is likely that Mimihime knew what fate awaited her if she died before Maru arrived to destroy the Hiruko core. So it was likely her decision to be kept alive as long as possible. This contrasts her visions of on the day that she saw Ohma's hallucinations: While in the hallucination, she was helpless, alone and attacked on all sides by needles in the darkness. In reality, Mimihime likely made the conscious choice to stay alive, she wasn't in Darkness because Shiro gave her his eyes when hers shut down, and she wasn't alone. Shiro endured and pushed forward through his own suffering to fulfill her wishes too.

** Mimihime and Shiro's relationship or life together is represented in their last chronological scene together: Mimihime is in a dark cave, she knows she has to move forward but is afraid until another person she recognizes, likely Shiro, reaches out to hold hands and then together walk through the dark cave into the unknown. However, unlike before, Mimihime is no longer afraid to walk forward and her face shows genuine happiness to not be alone.

Kona was likely not the tardigrade-like Man-Eater that half-ate Haruki. His sea-slug Man-Eater design while sharing some similarities with the tardigrade-like Man-Eater was a distinctively different design and entity.

*Just ''everything'' from Episode 8 was ''devastating''. Watching a nice and plucky girl like Mimihime decay in agony whilst Shiro could do nothing but delay the inevitable is heartbreaking, especially when you consider that they were deeply in love with one another.
**For one, Mimihime had the powers of foresight and everything she dreamt or feared about was a foreshadowing to her own death.
**Mimihime's final wish before passing away? Seeing the naked blue sky. What was Mimihime's first sense of wonder after emerging from the nursery? Seeing a ''[[Main/BookEnds naked blue sky]]''.
**Mimihime's final words to Shiro was thanking him for being her most important thing in the world, and that she truly loved him.
**Mimihime's death can be seen as a MercyKill as she lived years of her life in absolute agony and pain. The last thing we see of her was her final emotional tear.
**Watching the emotionally mute Shiro breakdown crying after reading Mimihime's final words feels like he is releasing decades of pent-up emotional stress. Heartbreaking doesn't even begin to describe it.
**Shiro being forced to dismember his wife piece by piece to delay her transformation is something no husband should be forced to bare.
**Shiro committing suicide with his now deceased wife is one thing. But watching him see his last sunset on top of a building before giving his final kiss to Mimihime is beyond bittersweet.
**Shiro before commiting suicide, showed to the audience a button of the same logo as Kiruko's death beam indicating a connection. Fast forward to Episode 13 and it turns out that the button came from Mimihime's shirt as a sign of [[Main/HeirloomEngagementRing her engagement]]. Get the tissues.
**Top it off with the [[Main/PlayingTheHeartStrings music]] and it is not uncommon to see viewers cry their eyes out. The life of Mimihime and Shiro's love story is truly a post-apocalyptic Romeo and Juliet. Together in death indeed.
*As horrific as it was, Robin's betrayal and rape of Kiruko in Episode 12 was equally as tragic as, throughout the entire first season, Kiruko was determine to meet her old idol. So to see her being treated like this was a massive gutpunch to the chest.
**Kiruko for the first time, crying out for Maru after being repeatedly raped is hard to watch, given how strong-willed she was beforehand.
*Generally speaking, every Man-Eater killed is heartbreaking as they used to be one of the children in the nursery. Taka was the bird hiruko. Ohma was the hallucinating slug hiruko in Episode 7. Kuku was the fish hiruko. Kona was the sea-slug hiruko that ate Haruki. Anzu was the giant jellyfish hiruko called Anjulous. You can say that each hiruko the duo killed was consider a MercyKill. Finally putting them at rest.
*Totori, despite only appearing briefly is equally as tragic once you realise that she was the surviving daughter of both Anzu and Taka, but has no recollection of her parents and is not interested in finding out what happened to them.
**Speaking of Anzu and Taka. Their deaths were equally heartbreaking as Taka died defending the mutated transformation of his wife from Michika was bad enough. The fact that it was only a ''few years'' after being married tells us that they didn't had a happily ever after.
