xxxHolic 20 - Pictures
Another episode of xxxHolic, and it’s getting greater and greater. This time, Wanatuki is making chocolate for Valentines day because Yuuko ordered him to do so. I remember in Tsubasa Chronicle that Yuuko sent the bunch in episode 17 them some chocolate because it was Valentinesday. To think of it, it could be true that Wanatuki made that chocolate for them. If I think about that, I have trouble in holding my laugh. Just because I imagine what Wanatuki would say if he got to meet the white Mokona, and also a carefree weirdo, a though guy with a sword and two little brats. I think he would be pretty upset.^^
Anyway, a woman comes by. She is scared, and goes to Yuuko because it’s the last thing she knows about to do. What’s the case? A picture. Of a woman’s back standing somewhere. Wanatuki was first scared by it, but it appeared to be a normal photo. The next day: The picture is moving, the frame around it is melting. The woman comes by once again, scared, doesn’t want to let anyone to take a look at it.
What happens? The woman self comes in the screen, they talk a bit, they laugh a bit, seem if they have a good time, but then, the first woman is pushed of the cliff. It’s a bit vague to see if the woman did her herself, but her reacting like this, her face in the picture, and that she was incredibly scared suggest that she indeed pushed her. The woman says that she would do anything to let this picture vanish of the world. Yuuko recommend that she thinks about this twice, but in the end, she let the picture vanish. And it would be likely that the picture is never shown again.
However.. the woman can’t let anyone take her picture anymore. No videos, no webcam, no tv, nothing. If she does, the picture will be shown once again. This means, the woman has no where to go. It could be that she accidentally was taken on a video and that would be shown on tv. There are alot of people who get photographied accidentally because they were on the background. Every store has videoguarding these days. The only thing she can do, is lock herself in the house and avoid all contact. Then she can do it. To murder one is a heavy burden. I think this was a great episode. It really showed the side of the woman that is a murderer, but she has to face that burden the rest of her life. And of course, who wouldn’t adore Mokona this episode?^^
