History Fridge / HappySugarLife

** As the Extra Life chapters reveal, no. Although since she has a habit of visiting the apartment Satou ordered the burning of and would bring a ReplacementGoldfish teddy bear and a cupcake to there, it's likely she's no longer in the right place of mind, although it's unlikely she will do anything weird for the time being.

* Satou's Aunt may have fully admitted to burning down her apartment, but chances are she's not going to prison. Her psyche would ensure that the crime was a case of insanity rather than pure malevolence. Then the most likely outcome would be her going back to a "normal" life with a probation officer and/or regular psychiatric visits to the doctor. And unless they have strong enough wills, they too will fall under Auntie's spell...
* Satou's obsession with Shio, while creepy and borderline-pedophilic, is decidedly non-sexual and she adores the "purity" of their "love". Shio apparently reciprocating this affection can be justified by being [[ChildrenAreInnocent eight years old and not fully understanding the depths of Satou's depravity and their situation.]] However, if Satou had eventually managed to get away with faking her death and got to care for Shio how she intended, how would she deal with Shio eventually going through adolescence, where she may develop feelings for others beyond their relationship, sexual or otherwise? How would Sato eventually deal with a potential rejection?

* Many times in the series Satou has flashbacks to her childhood that involve her aunt teaching her about what is and isn’t love. Then we find out [[spoiler:just [[SocialServicesDoesNotExist what kind of]] [[ReallyGetsAround person her]] [[TooKinkyToTorture aunt is]]. We can only pray those lessons about "love" never got [[RapeAsBackstory physical]].]]
* How will Shouko's parents [[spoiler: react to her death]]?
* Given how Shio instinctively goes into her room when [[spoiler: Satou kills Shouko]], how many times had Shio witnessed Satou getting violently angry?
* Given his affixation for her, how would Asahi react to [[spoiler: Shouko's death]]?
** At least according to the anime [[TheLastStraw not great]].
* The final part leaves several disturbing implications. [[spoiler: Shio]] is not only alive, but [[spoiler: she either believes that she is Satou reborn or is developing mannerisms not too dissimilar from her]]. One can only ask if [[spoiler: Shio]] would ever recover from her experiences, and if not, will she live Satou's life down to every detail climaxing in her kidnapping a pink-haired girl who she believed to be [[spoiler: Satou's reincarnation]]?
* As it turns out, even if they had managed to get on the plane, it's unlikely that Satou would've been believed dead as she'd hoped. Given that the police apparently identified Shouko's body as they announced her death on the news. Meaning that Satou's plan to fake her own death would have failed anyway as, since her body went undisturbed as is in the chair she was left in, there would've still been proof of the body being Shouko's. Even if her aunt had also tried to take the fall of murdering Shouko, there would be the question of where Satou was, given she was her legal guardian. Satou's plan to vanish off the face of the earth was doomed to failure no matter what.

** This could also lead to one of two bad things happening. If Shio starts to show interest in sex, [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil Satou may decide to take it into her own hands, and by that point, Shio will be at least a preteen and Satou an adult, making it statutory rape.]] Alternatively, and more likely, Satou would try her damndest to shield Shio from other people by any means necessary and try to stunt her development to keep her from ever leaving.

* How will [[AdultFear Shouko's parents]] [[spoiler: react to her death]]?

** Not necessarily. The police correctly identifying the body may have depended on the fact they had an extra body to account for. If Satou was the only missing person from the fire (also assuming Asashi didn't go to the apartment either), would the police simply close the case saying the body must be Satou?

* Satou and Shio's names (meaning "sugar" and "salt" respectively), seem to be contrasting names. Shio's name especially may seem to not make much sense when the whole of the manga has Satou referring to her as making her own life "sweeter". However, salt is considered a flavor enhancer, and is often used in a number of recipes, including sweets and desserts, to enhance the flavors of them. This is exactly what Shio does for Satou. Brings out the sweet feelings in her that nothing and no one else has been able to.
