Boku Dake ga Inai Machi: The Town Without Me

[Kraco]

Unless this is somehow a part of Satoru's plan, I almost hope it's the killer and Hinazuki disappears/dies again, even though I want nothing as much as her ending up happily ever after. Because if it's not a part of Satoru's plan, then this whole situation is even worse than the untouched timeline or his first attempt. There's still some risk for the killer to carry a body away from the housing area and later return it, while there's absolutely no risk visiting an abandoned bus in the middle of nowhere. It would be a different thing if Satoru had made a bigger effort of involving more people, especially adults, but in that case Hinazuki living in the wreck of a bus would be quite unlikely. No sensible adult would leave a little kid there all alone. Oh, right, Satoru is actually 29 years old, but we all know he's not overly sensible.
