Cast Review Session

Satoko: What the hell was that all about! That story was awful! 161 pages and over 44,000 words for that garbage?

Rika: Mii~…

Satoko: All that crap we've been through, all for nothing! Who wrote this anyhow! And what's with that ending! It was horrible! Nothing was solved and everybody died!

Rena: Hauuu! Satoko-chan's so cute when she's angry! I'm taking her home with me! [Tries to grab Satoko]

Satoko: And why did I have to die in the very beginning! I barely had any lines!

Rika: …I died too…again.

Rena: [Trying to comfort Satoko] Um…well…I'm sure there was a good reason for that…

Satoko: [Folds her arms and huffs] What a waste! And Rena was the killer too! She was so creepy!

Rena: Hauuu…I didn't know I could be so scary…

Mion: You think you had it bad? Try being framed! I was hinted to be the killer until the very end! I don't kill people!

Hanyuu: Au~ au~! I didn't even make an appearance at all!

Rika: Maybe in the next one you will!

Hanyuu: [Wipes small tears from her eyes and pouts] I hope so…

Satoko: Whoa! There's gonna be another one!

Rena: [Nods happily] Uh-huh! Keiichi-kun's working on it right now!

Shion: I better have a better role in this next one!

Mion: What are you talking about? You had more page time than I did! You even got to do some cool scenes!

Shion: I especially got to share a wonderful kiss with Kei-chan! Ahaha!

Mion: [Sweating] W-We-We don't talk about that!

Shion: Oh no! Poor Sis didn't get to take a bite out of the fish!

Mion: [Angrily] What's that supposed to mean!

Rena: Um…shouldn't we be talking about what happened in the episode?

Mion: Huh? Sure, why not? Who wants to discuss first?

Satoko: [Raises hand] I do! I for one think this episode was WAY too crazy! What's up with the déjà vu motif? I got so confused with that! I thought we made it out into a peaceful world! Why do Keiichi-san, Nee-nee, and Rena have all of those recalls from the previous worlds?

Hanyuu: Well that's very simple! You see-

Rika: [Covers Hanyuu's mouth] Don't spoil it for everybody!

Hanyuu: But I know the answer! I have to answer Satoko's question!

Rika: [Serious] If you do I'll eat nothing but spicy food and drink sake all week!

Hanyuu: [Silent, but has a hard time controlling herself] Au~…

Mion: Well, that wasn't suspicious at all!

Rena: Um, I think I know the answer to Satoko's question. I think it has to do with those familiar situations we were in. I think we remembered those events not only because how similar they were, but because something was trying to tell us to avoid making the same mistakes we did in the past. Kind of like what happened last time! That way, we would learn from the past and make a better future! If we avoid making those mistakes, we could have a happier world!

Satoko: I…I guess that makes sense…but nobody learned from them! Everybody made those same mistakes again.

Shion: True, but now we know for next time!

Mion: I don't think so! Uncle Mion's got it all figured out!

Shion: Oh really? Enlighten us.

Mion: You see: in the world where we got our happy ending, none of those events ever occurred. However, when an event came along that matched the events of the previous worlds, you guys remembered them, right? But that's not enough. It's good that you guys remembered them, but as Satoko said, you didn't learn from them that much, maybe you even forgotten their messages. Remembering isn't enough. You have to have the willpower to overcome your inner demons to make sure you don't make the same mistake twice! If you don't defeat that demon, you'll ultimately lose. Maybe this story has to do with facing an emotional/psychological demon, rather than a physical one! That's called growing up!

Shion: …I see…

Satoko: But Keiichi-san said he grew up, but he was just as guilty as Nee-nee and Rena!

Mion: That's right. So I guess Kei-chan still has some growing up to do, despite the progress he's made! Ahaha!

Rena: I'm not sure it's just about facing inner demons. Something may be behind everything, pulling the strings like last time. There can be a physical demon out there somewhere. We can't know for sure unless we keep going.

Satoko: Okay. So what Mion means is that Rena, Nee-nee, and Keiichi-san have to grow up so we can live happily?

Mion: It's just a theory, but maybe.

Satoko: I'm still confused, but maybe I'll figure it out eventually. Moving on: the theme of love kept popping up in here quite a bit. I found it kind of annoying! I didn't get it at all!

Rika: [Frowns] That mushy crap is really starting to tick me off…

Rena: Hauuuuuuu…. [Blushes]

Shion: When you're older I'm sure you'll get it, Satoko! I would talk about it here, but that would only jack up the age rating on this story!

Mion: [Glares at Shion]

Shion: Whatsamatter, Sis? You didn't get to be all over Kei-chan like you wanted?

Mion: [Raises fist]

Rena: [Covers her face] Hauuuu! Taking a bite out of the fish…!

Shion: Rena gets it!

Satoko: Whatever. Next: what was with that rash on Keiichi's neck? Every chapter was him scratching at it! That's so gross!

Shion: That wasn't my fault, I can tell you that!

Mion: It is and you know it!

Hanyuu: I know the answer!

Rika: I told you to be quiet…! Don't ruin it for anybody…!

Hanyuu: Auu~…

Rena: I think it was just a regular rash that got worse because he kept scratching at it. He was told not to do so, but he got so nervous about the murders that he couldn't help it!

Mion: I think aliens came down and infected Shion's hand, thus infecting Kei-chan when she choked him!

Rena: [Taken aback] Aliens!

Satoko: Somehow I don't buy that…

Shion: Aliens, Sis? Really?

Mion: Hey, I don't see you bringing anything to the table!

Shion: Well, I think Kei-chan was sick with something. I think something infected the cuts I gave him. The bacteria from that plus his constant scratching irritated it. That's why it got so bad. I think that's why he ended up killing himself to stop the pain. He had a virus and it got so bad that he had to claw his throat out to end the painful sensation.

Rena: That sounds familiar to me somehow…

Takano: It certainly sounds familiar to me! Hehehe!

Mion: Wha-! Where did you come from!

Takano: The back door was open so I walked in. But yes, that rash does seem very familiar…

Rena: Do you know what it is, then?

Takano: I have a pretty good idea, but I wouldn't want to scare anybody…hehehe…

Rika: …You thrive on scaring people.

Takano: Do I? I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about!

Shion: What do you know about the rash on Kei-chan's neck?

Takano: I don't think I should say. Why don't you just find it off of Wikipedia?

Shion: What the hell is that?

Takano: Hehehe.

Rena: This isn't helping…

Satoko: Yeah! You're wasting precious text space! Now get off the page!

Takano: Fine, I will. But you should be careful: I may be in the next episode! Hehehe! [Leaves]

Hanyuu: I hate her so much!

Rika: I think we all do.

Satoko: So going on to the next question: what's the next episode going to be about?

Hanyuu: [Jumping up and down] I KNOW THE ANSWER!

Rika: That's it! [Stomps off]

Hanyuu: Rika? Where are you going? [Suddenly grabs at her throat and begins to roll about on the floor] Gah! Ghack! Argh! It burns! It hurts! *Coughs* You're so cruel…

Rena: Rika's being very irritable lately!

Rika: [Comes back] That was tasty! Nipa~!

Hanyuu: [Lies on her back with swirls in her eyes]

Rena: I'm not really sure what the next one's gonna be about.

Mion: Kei-chan's working on it now, isn't he? Let's call him up and ask him!

[The girls grab a phone and dial Keiichi's home number. Dial tone]

Keiichi: Hello?

Mion: Kei-chan! How goes the next episode?

Keiichi: It's pretty good! Can't talk about the details right now, but there's gonna be a lot more content in it than before!

Mion: Like what?

Keiichi: The violence in this one is gonna be bloodier for one thing!

Rena: More intense than this last one?

Keiichi: Oh yeah! The rating is gonna be bumped up because of it!

Shion: Is there going to be any more romance…? [Interested]

Keiichi:Uhh…lemme see…looks like there might be some...

Rika: [Frowns again]

Mion: Ahaha! I wonder who's gonna get the spotlight this time?

Keiichi: I think you'd be surprised.

Mion: Really?

Keiichi: Yeah. Again, I can't say much, but I think you guys will like the way it turns out!

Mion: Uh-huh…

Keiichi: Anyway, I got finish looking it over. Hope you guys are ready for this!

[Hang up]

Mion: More bloody than last time?

Shion: More romantic? [Snickers] Sis is gonna be so jealous!

Mion: Shut up, Shion!

Rena: Ahaha! I wonder what's going to happen this time! I wonder!

Satoko: I better not die in the first chapter…

Hanyuu: [Rises from the floor] Au~! This should be interesting!

Rika: [Dark smile] I can't wait…

Rena: Please look forward to the next episode in the new series. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kan: Keiyodoshi hen (The Treacherous Chapter)! Hope to see you soon!
