Concerning Chapter 70 and Teru...
Teru Minamoto is a character that I’m honestly scared of. Yes, he has perfect grades. Yes, he has kindness which has practically captured everyone’s heart. Yes, he is an exorcist who hates supernaturals as any exorcist should.
I feel the phrase “too perfect to be true” applies to Teru too well. The way he acts in a mixture of kindness and controlled bluntness makes me wonder what he’s planning, if planning anything at all. Everything seems so convenient when it comes to Teru’s situations. Like finding Akane’s glasses, or knowing how to find the two of them at the far shore. His knowledge is kinda scary, and I feel unnerved whenever he’s present. Back to the far shore point-
Now, I’m going off of Rope of Fate’s translations, but Teru’s comment about how the living shouldn’t linger makes me suspicious. He knows the effects of the far shore which may have come from independent study, but I doubt that. He also knows Aoi was meant to be a sacrificial maiden, and is most likely aware Aoi has been in No.6’s territory for awhile.
Overall, Teru knows a lot about No.6. Honestly, I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. One thing That I do know is that Teru knew Aoi wouldn’t make it back.
If Teru knew that Aoi would not be able to make it back, he wouldn’t want Akane to be immediately devasted. Maybe if Akane looked back, he would see Aoi disappearing or unable to pass through with them. Aoi had spent so much time with No.6
I believe Aoi also realizes herself that she cannot go back when they reach the tunnel to bring them back...
Since she cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel, it could signify she doesn’t have anything left at her own tunnel, or her life. Walking through would end it. Perhaps she doesn’t realize this specifically, but comes up with something siilar because Aoi is smart.
Lastly, I’d like to bring up Teru’s reference to the future.
Teru has a plan to do something about the supernaturals. Specifically, Hanako. I’m not sure who exactly the “we” references, but my guess is anyone living, plus Akane as the Clock Keeper. I’d hate/love to see him become the antagonist who ends up destroying Hanako in some way (emotionally or physically) to maintain the school mysteries.
