I find it interesting how this otherworld station seems to exhibit phenomena that are kinda implied by Rinne to be unique to other otherworld stations, like from the previous chapter she thought this would be the Kisaragi Station because of the taiko drums and bells sound but then Rinne became uncertain due to another unique phenomenon happening which are the floating lanterns.
I'm assuming those that gets whisked away happens in different stations across Japan (or maybe even international) and they all end up in the same spooky area but just experienced certain phenomenon, or is this maybe something like Otherside Picnic where the area is drawing out information about otherworld stations from Rinne's memory and projecting it in this area as a form of communication (that is to scare them); Rinne seemingly hallucinating about her past makes me think that this is not too absurd of a theory.
That chapter had so much impact (ha.) Like, damn. Two girls got character-defining moments, while the third was killed. Temporarily I'm sure. I don't count impulsive self-sacrifice as something for Suzu's arc because Suzu is constantly such a pure and good girl... give her a wand and she'd be a magical girl protag. U-temo is killing it.
The best part is the confirmation that Majima has a human response to alienation, and she looks triggered by seeing Suzu die. I've no idea what's happening, or if this is repeating an event from Majima's memories. But it's her first actual character development. And if Majima can change as a person, and has human-level emotional dynamism, the romance is going to be much more interesting.
Compare this to Normality and Monsters, where halfway through it's meant to still be unclear if the monster is human enough for romance.
The normality monster doth protest too much about being a monster, but there's no definitive evidence she's got authenticity the way Majima does.
Look, I‘m kinda used to yuri series ending before anything truly explicitly gay happens, or any kind of official relationship events occur, but THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
