All Cast Review

Satoko: Well…I gotta say…this one…by far…SUCKS! It was so depressing!

Rena: It really was! That ending was so sad!

Satoko: I mean, I thought everything was going to end alright since Katsu and Kaiko got married, but no! Takano had to show up and ruin everything! And how could the Sonozaki Family do that to Katsu? That's awful!

Mion: I don't think the Sonozaki had anything to do with this!

Satoko: Oishi had a point though! Kimiyoshi is part of the Three Great Houses! He got scared of Katsu and tried to kill him! That didn't work, so he asked the Sonozaki Family to do it for him! They killed Kaiko and then they went after Katsu!

Mion: Yeah, it was really sad, but I'm telling you! My family had nothing to do with this!

Rena: Are you sure, Mii-chan? The gear and the silenced handgun are pretty rare for anybody to find. Members of your family could have bought those somewhere!

Mion: [Frustrated] That's exactly my point! The gear is totally unlike anything Sonozaki people use! Also, we don't have any white vans! Wait, doesn't a white van sound familiar to you at all?

Rena: [Thinks] You know, now that you mention it, it does sound rather suspicious!

Satoko: Mion-san, you mean to tell me that someone else was in on this?

Mion: I'm saying that someone else, as well as a certain group of individuals are under suspicion right now! Notice how she's not even in here right now!

Satoko: Who?

Mion: Takano!

Rena: [Shocked] You think she was behind this?

Mion: Could be! It makes sense with the white van!

Rika: …Interesting indeed.

Hanyuu: Auuu~…

Mion: Well, now that we got our suspicion on the white van out of the way, anybody wanna discuss anything in particular?

Satoko: I do! So…about Katsu's shadow. That was really a demon? It had been with him ever since he was a little kid?

Shion: Looks that way!

Rena: The poor man…and he fought so hard against fate so that he could live! I feel sorry for him.

Mion: I feel sad that he screwed up so many times to see that what he did was wrong. Unfortunately though, he's not gonna be able fix them.

Shion: I personally admire Katsu. I feel bad for him, but I admire his strength. He was able to overcome his demon and take its power for himself! I wish I had his kind of determination and will power…

Satoko: You're strong, Nee-nee! You'll be able to overcome the demon within you sooner or later! You have to!

Rika: …It's important.

Shion: [Smiles weakly] I'll do my best!

Rena: I'd like to bring up something too. This goes back to the thing with the white van. Do any of you notice in Oishi-san's report that the villagers, who liked Katsu and went to his house the night he disappeared, didn't find the attackers that he killed?

Mion: You're right! I forgot about that!

Satoko: What do you think happened to them?

Shion: Maybe somebody hid them! You know, so nobody would ever find out about what really happened?

Rena: It makes sense! It also makes Takano-san and those people in the white van shadier! I bet Takano-san's up to something!

Mion: She can't be up to too much, because in the present day she's gone. What power could she have?

Rika: …Maybe we're not seeing something here. Takano is a suspect, but I feel like we're missing something very important.

Hanyuu: What could that be though, Rika?

Rika: [Serious] I don't know…but I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

Shion: I have one more topic to discuss! It's about the tape recorder. What else do you think Katsu said on it?

Mion: It has to be something really interesting to leave it so vague! I bet we'll hear about that soon too!

Rena: I really want to learn more about the demons and about the supernatural forces of Hinamizawa! I want to know all about demons!

Shion: I'm really interested in learning more about the Keima Family! Especially that juicy little detail about Ouka and Katsuhiro!

Satoko: That should be good!

[Telephone rings]

Mion: [Picks it up] Hello?

Keiichi: Hey, Mion!

Mion: Kei-chan! Back on the horse, I see! You're working on the next arc already?

Keiichi: Yeah! It's looking good so far! It's gonna be our first answer arc! We're kick things off the old fashioned way!

Mion: Good! I've been looking forward to getting back to work!

Satoko: Keiichi-san! You're going to be the main character next time, right? I'm so excited!

Keiichi: Huh? Me? Well…not exactly…

Mion: Then why call from the studio? Main character's are only supposed to be in there getting first looks at the story!

Keiichi: Well, the door was open and I walked in and started snooping around! Hehehe!

Mion: Kei-chan, that's not right!

Rena: Yeah! I'm supposed to get first looks!

Satoko: Wait a second…

Shion: Rena…what did you mean by that?

Mion: You're going to be the next main character?

Rena: Ahaha! Yes, I am! It must have slipped my mind! Sorry about that!

Mion: Oh boy…and this is the answer to Kanashii-hen? I can only imagine what's going to happen if Rena' gonna be the main character…

Satoko: I look forward to it! It should explain a lot about her feelings and thoughts about the situations!

Shion: Maybe we can finally learn more about that fight Sis and Satoko had prior to previous arcs! I'm interested in that as well!

Keiichi: It should be a lot of fun!

Mion: [Laughs] I guess so! Do a good job, Rena! We'll work hard too!

Satoko: I'm ready and waiting!

Shion: This is gonna be great!

Rika: Hanyuu…let's prepare for this. I have a feeling our time is coming!

Hanyuu: Right! I'm ready!

Rika: …It'll all begin soon…
