So...is she just dead and neither of them will get to the bottom of this mystery? Or is it establishing that the infection is more emotional than physical?

Okay,so she acknowledges the deception but now that she's struck a hole in one in terms of friends remaining,she accepts it fully.

Not the greatest use for a potential special zombie-ism,that's for sure.

Makes me wonder what the next frictional force will be,otherwise like many other stories,this won't go far.

For one needs friction to smoothen out a rough relationship into something with a fine finish,after all.

I think the author is foreshadowing that a special zombie requires some sort of close emotional connection to someone to work, and that upon losing that connection, their humanity starts to wither away.

I am very suspicious of that ominous line of:

"Back then, I didn't know why I was crying, nor why Risa-chan wasn't.

I never figured it out until everything was over"

This sounds like a glimpse of a bad ending to me. :meguuusad:

True,but...
A shame there wasn't more of Miya.

Dead men tell no emotions
...they could've shown us more of that threeway bond first,at least.

Okay, page 21 confirms to me that we got a big ol' case of the unreliable narrator going on here. Unless it's somehow a mistake the artist made, why's there a police outline and evidence markers on the ground between them where Miya is lying in all other panels?

There's definitely more going on that "just" the weird zombie apocalypse stuff.

I can't believe symbolism is dead. :meguuusad:

I really hoped that she isn't dead and will become a zombie like Risa, but I guess she just gets killed off after so much build up???
Really disappointing tbh :shamihuh:

So would memories also play a part? Totally understand the emotional part tho

I dunno if it's just me or not, but this feels extremely anti-climatic. If Miya was infected and going to die anyways, I feel like we should've seen more foreshadowing or something, or just anything more. Eko was shaking and really hesitating, I would've liked to see Miya died anyway AFTER Eko realized she actually couldn't really do it instead. I know it was trying to do that and almost went in that direction, but I wasn't satisfied with the execution, feels like it's lacking.

I guess I'm glad Eko wasn't actually the one to kill her remorselessly because I don't think she's actually as cold-hearted and empty and calculating as she tries to be. The story seems to be going in the direction where Risa is the one that becomes the real yandere.
