In Japan, they have a custom where the deceased person's family will pick their bones from the ashes after cremation.Why does Sakura's mum in the casket look normal in one page then in the next one she looks like an archaeological find?
This actually makes more sense when you go back and read what he's saying.Did this mother fucker just get amnesia and lose the last 16 years of his memory????
he kinda looks like his younger self tho, maybe somehow she time slipped him from that time?Did this mother fucker just get amnesia and lose the last 16 years of his memory????
See, my interpretation is/was that as she got older she started Time Slipping backwards as well so while her younger self slipped forward - the younger version of her being the one we're interacting with the most and the one that grew up being the "Sakura Look-Alike" he dated in College and the one that pulled him into the water and Bali was an overlapping point where both were present in the same place at the same timeFor those confused.
Umeko was on Bali, but stalking them and Makoto noticed her hiding behind building, which he figured as hallucinations.
You can notice in ch20 Sakura casually smoking, that was Umeko all along, she tried to pull Makoto under water.
Umeko was on the "date" with Makoto and Kurahashi in Yogyakarta temple, basically repeating everything during their time together.
Only time Sakura was Sakura is during girls drinking, that's when she started to Time Slip abruptly, you can see that Sakura doesn't have black tank top shirt underneath but Umeko is wearing it, that isn't artists mistake.
She ain't hammered either.

But I don't think we'd get ever get a really straight answer from the author
Not a spoiler - the writer doesn't make anything very clear so I was just guessing / still amSpoiler?
Didn't seen Sakura grown up yet, Umeko even now looks like 16 years old Sakura so it might be a possibility tho'
The thing about cigarettes might cause her to not Time Slip when she tormented Makoto in collage, to keep her focused on her own game.
I'm currently reading this chapter by chapter, had this story on a bucket list, kinda regret it since it hits home too often.
