Did the op just drop the idea that Ai is not dead after all?
I probably shouldn't entertain the idea...

Seems like a weird thing to spoil in the OP. I'm assuming it's just meant to be symbolic.

That was my rational guess too.
I can not see how she could be alive and why she would stage her death. Also aqua being a doc in his former life would be hard to fool.

I mean...it's possible she's been reincarnated as someone else. Since we already know that's a thing.

She's been dead awhile now. She'd be, what, like 10-12? Keep your eyes peeled for any creepy kids.

Oh god. You know, you're totally right here. We're so used to something outlandish happen AT THE START of all these isekai/rebirth-stories, but matter of fact is, whatever higher power made 2 people be reborn is still around, so who's to say there cannot be more fuckery?

That's actually a glaring flaw in the writing of all these other shows. From that pov, it'd actually be good writing if there was another case of rebirthing.

The issue that arises then is: What's the limit here, who is responsible for it, and is the entire story meaningless, because it's just some god having fun watching these people's tragic life unfold?

So, ultimately, I hope Ai stays dead and no more supernatural stuff.

It wouldn't be a flaw, nor would it automatically be good writing. You are confusing the theme with the setting. This isn't an isekai series, or even an urban fantasy series (with vampires and werewolves running around), so it's more likely the supernatural thing was a part of the setting than an actively ongoing theme. A rather more commonplace supernatural setting is the so called regression one, in which the main character's time gets rewound, starting their life again from the beginning (or a certain point in childhood if the author doesn't want to bother with infantile years), now knowing beforehand how they are destined for ruin and thus being able to work against it.
