I'm kinda pissed that Takshi's going back to the Rei route. If you notice, Before Saeko says that she'll take the lead, There's like 2 whole frames Just on her looking at takashi and Rei. My guess is that hse'd take the lead wasn't just for the reasons she specifies. Though I've got to wonder, does anyone else get the feeling that Saeko is going to die? I mean, she's my fav character, and I'd be sooo pissed if it happened, but I cant shake the feeling that she's going to pull a heroic sacrifice at some point.
-Random theory- You notice that gun that she got from Hirano? If anyone else is a troper, Then they'll know what I mean when I think that Saeko's gun Will be a "Chekhov's gun". My guess is that at some point When Rei and Takashi get together, She'll loose her composure and end up being bitten. Que sappy "We can save you Saeko" speech from Takashi, crocodile tears from Rei and Saeko either: A) accepting it and telling Takashi how she feels/ says its not his fault, or B) Finally breaks down and goes insane So that the group will leave her, but not before She verbally beats down Takashi and Rei. Que existential moment of descovery with flashbacks. Que Saeko smiling serenely as she closes her eyes. Que Saeko saying something heartfelt or badass as page goes white. Cut to sound of gunshot. Cut to Takashi Blaming himself for what's happened.
Lol if you read all that, you deserve a virtual cookie.
Read it and sounds plausible but for my original vision I believed that all but the kid, Shizuka, and maybe Rei would live. Takagi would die with Hirano, Saeko sacrifices herself, Takashi makes the final sacrifice to let them get off on a boat into the sea as he was bitten at the last moment. I was thinking more of realistic Classic Zombie ending as this is what this series is going for, classic movie zombie stories. Though I have recently noticed that Inazuma tends to keep things lighthearted even when there is a darker story behind, so I can still see this ending with a happily ever after. But overall, I don't think Takashi and Saeko really have a relationship going on, it just doesn't feel like that serious.
