what I got from this chapter is that friend was that person who asked the guy to kill kiriko's boyfriend; but the purpose of that is unclear. a hypothesis but that same guy is manipulating the girl to later force the father to create a robot for the demise of humanity in the year 2000

The way the narrative switched from the girl revealing that her dad is a robotics professor to the future where the robot creation in question is wreaking havoc in Tokyo is brilliant. Friend is moving every piece of the chessboard to it's spot. Peak storytelling







This is what awaits us in the story...

                        Them tricking that girl is so wrong but I'm not sure about the whole killing since she gave no reaction to it..

This has all fallen into place for the reader, but fascinatingly, not for the characters except of course Friend. Murder, jealousy, sci-fi...this has it all

whats so hard to understand...the guy who died was kiriko's husband and the guy who killed him worked for Friend. Im not quite sure about this but apearently Friend also wanted that guy to teach him how to charm girls?

can u tell me if the girl on the beggining is kenji's sister. Like, i totally don't understand this chapter, who's that random girl who touches her tongue with that jung boy who cooporates with friend's representative? maybe it's yukiji, but then i see no logic. i know that her father makes robots. and when the jung boy talks to friend's representative he says to him that it'll be easy job coz the girl has recent loss of close man. i guess that's kenji's sister, coz he throwed her lover under the train, but then why he seduces that young girl who looks like yukiji? i see no logic. plz explain, and plz no spoilers (if the girl who seduces was kenji's sister,  it would've made some logic, but now i'm totally mindfucked...)

What's confusing? Two birds with one stone you know. Kill the guy and seduce the high school girl (she can't possibly be Kenji's sister come on) whose father is needed to the organisation.

She didn't see him kill anyone ... Or do you mean just being like the rest and being more annoyed than anything that a man died?



Anyways I guess that explains that, although still don't understand who the guy is, although probably dead...



Also I feel bad for Kenji's sister.
