I was rewatching Meakashi-hen the other day, and I just realized I probably feel the worst for Shion. I can definitely understand why she went on her murdering rampage, and even how she had her mental unstable-ness beforehand. (

I mean, first of all, she was supposed to be killed at birth. For whatever reason she wasn't, but she still had to pretend she had no relation with the Sonozaki family or Hinamizawa. She basically didn't have anyone at all, except for her bodyguard (it didn't seem like she exactly missed anyone at boarding school)

Then she falls in love with a guy who didn't even know she existed until their last meeting. She finally has SOMEONE that could make her happy, but he kinda dies/mysteriously disappears.

Also, was it me, or did Shion have like no friends, except for Mion? Whenever she pretended to lock herself up in the prison cage, it was like nobody cared (except for Keichii, but that's because he still thought she was there)

It's like nobody even wanted a Shion to exist, which just makes that

Spoiler:

line even better.

EDIT:: Ok, now that I've actually watched the episode...

Spoiler:

i did really like this episode, it's just that the last scene was too quick, especially for a character this show was centered around for 6 episodes.

EDIT:: Ok, now that I've actually watched the episode... Spoiler: I can see what the game players mean about Shion's death. It felt way too rushed, and for some reason it felt cheesey seeing her run down the stairs going "lol fooled u ghost mion", killing keichii (which could've been completely omitted since it added nothing more than "Praise me Satoshi!", coming back going "k done" and all of a sudden, slips and dies. It would've been nice to hear a monlogue as she was getting back into her apartment, or even seeing her fall on the other roof like in the game and listen to her apologize for everything. Her death just seemed to quiet and too sudden. Also, fix Shion's ladder scene already! I could understand Deen must've been rushing episode 7 and the other awkward facial contortion scenes so they couldn't fix them, but half the episode were reused scenes! Oh well, it didn't last as long as last time. I did like the intenseness of the 1,000 I'm Sorry's scene though. I also liked how we realized Satoko was really the one who matured, and Shion was way too selfish to realize the one thing he wanted Shion to do when he was gone. i did really like this episode, it's just that the last scene was too quick, especially for a character this show was centered around for 6 episodes.
