5 | * The [[LawOfConservationOfDetail set-up]] that equally validates both possibilities of the truly AmbiguousEnding. If [[spoiler:Michiko [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin truly is dead]]]], then [[spoiler:the ending sentence fragment is [[KilledMidSentence actually the last bit she wrote]]; the publisher attributed it to the two daughters of Fujiko "the Killer" for marketing; and Fujiko's {{single tear}} is out of grief over the daughter [[WeHardlyKnewYe she barely got to know]]]]. However, if [[spoiler:Haru's dedication "to the late Michiko Takamine" is figurative]], then [[spoiler:Michiko [[ThatManIsDead shedded that identity]] and [[IAmWhatIAm embraced]] her [[DarkAndTroubledPast past]] as Miyako Uehara[[TheMaidenNameDebate /Wakamura]]; she chose to be credited as "Miyako Uehara" accordingly; and Fujiko tears up at Michiko's reconciliation with her past, for better or worse]]. |
6 | ** However, who's to say that [[spoiler:Fujiko knew one way or the other? Since the denial of her appeal, [[LockedOutOfTheLoop only immediate relatives could visit her]], and both Michiko and Shigeko declared their final visits.]] |
7 | ** Either way, [[spoiler:Shigeko]] is ''[[OffscreenKarma almost definitely]]'' [[OffscreenKarma busted]]. After all, she [[spoiler:kidnapped Sakiko's daughter, and [[CantStopTheSignal Haru still knows of her guilt]]]]. |
8 | * Given {{the Reveal}} that [[spoiler:Shigeko [[TheManBehindTheMan orchestrated]] the murder of Fujiko's parents to [[ParentalSubstitute raise]] her [[{{Tykebomb}} a murderer]] and [[MilkingTheMonster collect insurance money from]] her [[PaterFamilicide family's deaths]]]], it is no surprise that Fujiko begins [[spoiler:[[TheDogBitesBack hating Shigeko]]]]. |
9 | ** Furthermore, when Michiko reasons that [[spoiler:the [[RashomonStyle contrived ending]] of Hatsuyo and Sakiko walking away under a horizon of Mt. Fuji was a DyingClue pointing to Shigeko]], Fujiko's expression does not waver -- indicating Michiko is LateToTheRealization. |
10 | ** If one compares when Fujiko was last shown [[spoiler:[[LikeASonToMe on good terms with Shigeko]]]] and when she was first shown [[spoiler:[[YoureNotMyMother spiting her]]]], one can actually pinpoint when the relationship turned sour -- [[spoiler:after the [[TilMurderDoUsPart murder of her first husband]], Yūya Tsujimura]]. It makes sense, because [[spoiler:a [[AllGrownUp now-adult]] Fujiko would have expected the life insurance to come to ''her''; and it would have instead gone to Shigeko, who [[MilkingTheMonster bought the insurance policy]]]]. However, [[spoiler:Minami must not have been covered, considering that she confused baby Sakiko with her]]. |
11 | * While it's [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] that Fujiko continued to [[spoiler:buy cosmetics from Hatsuyo, despite Hatsuyo having [[DeathByOriginStory killed Fujiko's parents]] for profit and [[TraumaButton rehashing her]] RepressedMemories of it]], what's perhaps more terrifying is that [[spoiler:Hatsuyo continued to sell to Fujiko, despite Fujiko having killed her daughter Emi]]. Yes, it was to [[spoiler:turn Fujiko into a {{Tykebomb}} through repeated TraumaButton–pressing]], but [[spoiler:Hatsuyo still [[AngstWhatAngst should've felt]] ''[[AngstWhatAngst something]]'']]. |
