I like the original draft (from the extras) more, actually. Miko is definitely better in the final version, but the idea of a horror slice of life in a cutesy way is much better – especially regarding Shiori – than this. As much as I love gloomy stories, the author kinda half-assed the melancholy.
Either way … have I mentioned I hate Shiori?
Forces her to reveal her scars and then has the audacity to say she didn't force her. Right.
The fact that this scene was made romantic bothers me even more.
Ayame was a cool character tho. Too bad Shiori had to intervene. One more reason to hate that mermaid.
I hate to admit it, but Shiori's mermaid form does look beautiful tho.
My theory about Hinako's blood as revelaed in ch18:
Shiori is the voice that young Hinako heard. She gave her some of her blood to heal, as otherwise Hinako wouldn't have made it.
But why? Did she want to eat Hinako back then already and she simply didn't taste as good? Was she perhaps the one that let the car drown and ate her family?
