Saikoroshi-hen: Difference between revisions

{{italic title}}{{Infobox arc irr

Rika begins her search with her parents, but doesn't sense the fragment within either of them. She then considers that the ancient documents within the [[Saiguden]] could contain clues. Rika attempts to read the documents while at school, however Satoko and a few other classmates steal the documents and bully Rika. Annoyed with the world she has found herself in, Rika assaults Satoko and pins her down with a chair. After the fight, Rika learns from Reina and Mion why the rest of her classmates don't like her: in this world, Rika has been a "little princess" who manipulated the boys in class into pampering her and fighting over her, drawing the ire of the other girls in class. These boys, including [[Tomita]] and [[Okamura]], have since moved away from Hinamizawa, leaving Rika lonely. In order to help rebuild her relationship with the class, Reina and Mion suggest starting [[the club|a club]] with Rika. This causes Rika to question herself and whether she has the "right" to return to her old world. She briefly contemplates giving up on her search and dedicating herself to this new world she is stuck in. While thinking to herself at the Furude House, Rika's mother sees Rika and believes she is stressed. She attempts to console Rika ndand tells Rikaher a story that culminates in shocking information: in this world, Rika's mother is the reincarnation of [[Oyashiro]], not Rika. Rika finally senses the fragment within her mother when her mother hugs her. Realizing that she would have to kill her mother to return, Rika attempts to consult Hanyuu. Hanyuu reveals that her powers have grown weak. By the next day's sunset, the fragment within Rika's mother will lose its power, trapping Rika in this world forever. At the end of their conversation, the crystal ball Hanyuu had been speaking from goes cold and loses its power.

Rika wakes up in a hospital. [[KyouskueKyousuke Irie]] informs the rest of the club members, who all rush in and see her. Rika learns that she has been in a coma for a month. Though happy that she has managed to return to her old world, Rika asks Hanyuu to explain what has happened. Hanyuu feigns ignorance about the events of ''Saikoroshi-hen''. Rika comes to the conclusion that she must have killed her mother and forgot.{{ref|amnesia}}.
