Chapter 8 - The Sea and the Old Anchored Ship

I need to think of more text to put into this initial post for a chapter. Anyway, number 8!

Wellllllll…

I already was confused about how Narasaki was able to leave the mansion in the previous chapter.

This chapter is completely twisting my previous theories around now. Was Sachiko actually…never there? Or, is Narasaki tracking down Sachiko’s memories in order to preserve them somehow?

It also came to a suprise that the sanatorium and the mansion are actually two different places. With them sharing the exact same layouts, this was quite the twisty detail actually. I wanted to think it wasn’t the same place, but…the details matching up so much and it making it seem that they played just in different times was pretty (cleverly) misleading.

I’m back! Sorry, I hadn’t been in the mood for reading for a while due to university and graduation stuff, so I ended up disappearing for a bit…

Anyway…

thoughts!

WHAT
i’m so confused
what’s going on????????

the sanatorium is unequivocally the same one we’ve seen in takako’s parts, and narasaki seems to have gotten there physically by car

is it a “real” location with some magical properties? is it a different part of Sachiko’s brain?

i feel like the fact that Narasaki used to work there means something important, but i’m not yet sure of what, and same for the fact that she is the one who sent Takako the diary…

replies!

or, maybe, the opposite? Takako “died” for Sachiko because she forgot who herself was…?

very weird coincidence though…

conclusion

see you in a while for chapter 9!

it shouldn’t take me this long this time… :sweat_smile:

oddity about discourse (the software)

discourse seems to remove any question marks beyond three in a row unless you explicitly escape them with \?

such an odd design decision
