summary.

>Rika is subjected to increasingly fucked up worlds that seem designed specifically to make her despair / confused
>this gets noticeably much worse when the "remnant" of Hanyuu gives her the power to remember, at which point Rika resolves to commit suicide and leave forever in five loops
>those five loops are noticeably way worse and intensify with each passing loop; the 4th loop has her die on the first or second day, the 5th loop has her WAKE UP ALREADY HAVING BEEN KILLED (Jesus fuck)
>Satoko straight up tells Rika that she has been sent by Oyashiro sama to punish her for trying to abandon Hinamizawa
>Rika stupidly writes this off as just an L5 delusion, and, thinking that this will be one of the last times she ever sees Satoko, apologizes for wanting to abandon her and Hinamizawa
>as soon as she apologizes for this and changes her mind, she conveniently wakes up at a beach party with Satoko scrutinizing her behavior
>the combined weight of all the tragedy mindbreaks Rika, she breaks down and says she loves Hinamizawa
>by some massive fucking COINCIDENCE, as soon as she does this, a loop goes by where absolutely nothing bad happens
>Rika can just live in Hinamizawa peacefully forever now

oh no, but no, guys, Satoko is just a red herring. yup. obviously all of these hints mean nothing.
yeah sure
