On another note, is it just me or does the chapter with the terminally ill guy seem out of place now.
Specifically the part where his coworker got an entire female body from the neck down.
She should have joined the village but we don't see her again?
The other villagers all looked pieced together, they tore that other girl apart, and Kiriko was pieced together bit by bit, it doesn't make sense that they were able to give coworker a complete unblemished body in one go?
