Wow, every character up to now is involved pretty much. I don’t like calling it, but now it does feel like one of the final Arcs — even though I want to see those kids get proper therapy.
Only part that I don’t get is Akane, I can’t imagine Aqua actually wanted her involved at all, unless he pushed for it because of how good she is in pretending to be Ai.
But she’s also the biggest liability, considering she knows his plans and also has a target on her back due to being bait for the murderer.
Seems like it’ll have a lot of revelations, since the Lala-Lai guy will unknowingly be playing his father.
