...But at the end of the day Ivy was a child born into worse then nothing, who lost his sister to the parade. a scared, lonely child, used as a tool. Not that I don't see her point here but. Man.

I appreciate that the "well lets just kill our own guy so he can't talk" move backfired a little. And the detail that experiments were being run by ripping partial transflorations out... whew.

The MC is starting to question the way they are running things!

I don't see him joining the Glory Day Party, but it he should realize by now that the Transfloration Institute is not really any better, maybe he jump ship for the first group that steals the mini sun tech that the GDP is pushing forward

She made a good point. It's not a child anymore but a mass killer. Their game was not completely a bust.

Nevertheless both parties now figured out who they are fighting against. Can't wait to see how this fight turns out.

Looks like we're heading for conflict between Toshiro and Yomiko. I think the fundamental difference between them is that he deeply empathizes with the transflorated while she doesn't. Even if her justification in this case is Ivy's crimes, it's probably a more general sentiment and a necessary result of having performed so many transflorations. She's also much more coldly pragmatic than him aside from that, being comfortable with sacrificing a life just to gain an advantage.

I'm really curious as to what the deal with Hikasa Ken is. Dr. Kudai seems to be set up to fill in that amoral, detached man of science role, unless there's a twist. But Ken is a bit of an enigma in his motivations, though we know he is pretty brutal based on the encounter with that politician. I'd really like to see Toshiro have some direct interaction with the anti-transfloration movement.

Given that the mass murder was largely accidental, I don't think Ivy can be blamed for that. The other murders were justified, if excessive. He targeted those involved with the practice of human furniture. Even Yomiko is at least complicit in that. Transfloration is ethically questionable even in the pure case of providing oxygen and deeply immoral otherwise. Those who are involved with it must bear some responsbility for this, all the more so given they live relatively lavishly within an impoverished society. And Ivy is mentally a child, incapable of finer judgments on such matters, given a gun and told to shoot at the bad men. Certainly there should be some consequences for him, but to be captured and tortured for the rest of his life is not commensurate to the crime.

no, she not. Ivy remain a child, and angry child with a lot of power. Put out of his misery should be the right choice.
