The end is still far from us…
[Impressions] - 厄醒し編 - Disaster Awakening Chapter
The first arc in HiguKai comes to an exciting end, mysteries are still far from solved and in fact, more questions arise. Continuing from the previous episode, the mysterious group of men stormed Rika and Satoko’s house. Satoko wakes Rika up, Rika has it all prepared and asks Satoko to hide, it seems like Rika knows what is gonna happen to her in the end. While hiding, Rika was taken away by force to a nearby shrine where she was brutally murdered. Satoko searched for Rika and the sound of crows drew her attention which eventually led her to her horror as the crows were feeding on Rika’s naked corpse. Satoko gives out a scream, the unknown men were still nearby and gave chase and eventually, Satoko managed to hide herself but fell from a bridge. She was washed ashore to a nearby river bank and when she gained consciousness, many things had happened. A disaster has happened. Lots of people died and it was suspected to be a natural gas leak. However, as it was suspected to take place in the midnight. Instead of dying in the bedrooms, the people were found dead together in a classroom instead. Satoko is the only sole survivor in this incident and the men are still after her. Realizing the connection between Satoko and the other related incidents (go watch the episode), Ooshi rushes to the hospital but it was too late, he finds Satoko, dead. The doctor pronounced her death at 1.32am due to an acute heart attack, although we know, it is far from that. Ooshi’s only lead to the case is gone.
This is indeed an exciting thriller episode, especially when this particular tune in the anime starts playing (from the part when men stormed Rika’s house), it is sorrowful and yet with remorse and suspense. This time, everyone dies except Satoko. Rika was unable to escape death even though the mysterious voice urged she could if she try. Those mysterious men and the gathering at that mysterious shed definitely plays an important role to this whole Hinamizawa incident and the stories are definitely interconnected to each other. Next episode is an answer arc - Minagoroshi-hen (皆殺し編) and yup! Hanyuu will be inside :D
