Yeah, although looking back at it now, this surely was the most obvious way to make the "bonobo genes" evident. In any case I'm happy it didn't last longer than a single episode. It made its point already in that limited time, and it was annoying to watch Shun with somebody else than Saki.Originally Posted by Buffalobiian
I wonder what happened to Shun. I'd hate to think he was disposed of, but with this series it's not altogether impossible. He even left a memento behind, in Saki's hands. But right now I'm still inclined to think his fate will be tied to the next arc, and he won't be found dead by the end of it.
The best scene of the episode was the meeting between the masked priest and Shun, and the deranged grin Shun sported afterwards, nicely followed later by Saki's memory of the eye peering out of the cracked eggshell. In my opinion it demonstrated how Shun was all the time expecting repercussions from their little side trip two years prior, and he couldn't anymore handle the stress. So, when it finally happened, he was actually glad it's all over. It would have been nice to know what the priest said inside the distortion bubble, but I guess that's not essential.
