Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni 10
Omg. How incredibly sad was this ending. I just adore Higurashi at this point, because Satako was so moving. We learn more about the past of Satako, she is being abused by her uncle. She denies that she has been abused and that is so painful and she won’t accept any help. This is her only way of living, and hoping that her brother will return someday. Satako told Keiichi that he looked like her brother. And Keiichi is so worried about her, that she is beginning to lose herself again. Satoshi and Keiichi had in the first arc the same sympthones, remember? Satoshi runned probably away, in order to protect his little sister. He is dead, or he is somewhere in the wilderness. Keiichi is so sweet of her, and that can be a wrong combination at this point. I can so understand how Satako is feeling at the moment. Somebody called again the Child Werfare thingey, and the next day somebody reminds you of the person you loved the most. Satako did something to her brother, or else she wouldn’t have to apologize to much and was her reaction different. She pushed Keiichi away because she was scared that she might do the same thing again, and the thing that she did was so badly, that it made her throw up. She is so incredibly sorry, she was forced to do something to the person she holds the dearliest. Keiichi can fear for his live now, or do something unexpected, or else he may suffer the same fortune as Satoshi did.
I also think that Satako sees the abuse as a punishment for what she has done. It couldn’t be different. That’s why she let herself being so badly treated, because she hopes that her brother will see what’s happening of her. That must be it.
Oiishi was too horrible to imagine, because he was manipulating. He isn’t so nice as we first thought in the first arc. Keiichi is saved by Irie, who tells him more about the past of Satako. Keiichi is so shocked that he asked Mion if she and the curse can’t do anything about it. Mion says she can’t, because she isn’t really involved with this and a murder is a murder.
I also wonder why everyone wants to hold upon a mask and don’t talk about they really feel. I mean, they are making the situation worse for themselves, they are not honest against each other. And poor Satako. I hope that we will find out what on earth she has done. And I fear for the live of Keiichi.
