Takano probably faked her death again, and it’s probably been to escape the guys in the van. Maybe she gave Rena her notes in order to set her back on a spiral to insanity…

Well, that was my impression, too based more on similarities with other arcs and Ooishi looking for Takano than on actual precise understanding of what was being said. And the verb “korosu” (to kill) was certainly mentioned many many times in this episode, so I thought it would be better to ask, rather than guess or spend some hours playing certain lines over and over again and checking words in a dictionary, cursing my rudimentary Japanese.
I actually think Takano faked her death in the other arcs and she never actully died but it’s not as if I can really prove it for now.
Rena is probably going crazy, agreed. Not sure if her weird looking eyes in this episode was caused by this or just lazy animators. Or just my imagination.

Yyi: Sorry about the big chunk in the middle there. I didnt realize it would get this large but I kept writing and writing and before I knew it whoa XD Rena was all like “you’re so smart Keiichi I’m glad you’re on my side” haha.

Matrim: It totally flew by me and I was like “omg word I don’t know..another word I don’t know” so I really had to watch it again looking up all those crazy words XD Actually I think they said that she disappeared but they had assumed she died? It follows the pattern of the first arc I believe.

Drm: After reading all these random webpages and stuff about whose “really” behind it all, none of this is adding up to me lol

Chirium: That could explain why Rena was “seeing bloody insects crawling out of her arm” ^^;

In both the first arc and this one K1/Rena became mentally unstable and some of Rena’s instability comes from the information from Takano and Oishi much like K1 maybe that’s the think these arcs have and how this arc answers the questions of the first.

Excuse me while I go empty my brain, find an appropriate receptacle, and shake it silly.

*SHAKEY SHAKEY SHAKEY

OK, I’m done.

Well, at least one arc is explained… … …

Many thanks for this summary, I thought I understood at least the gist of what was going on in the raw while watching it, then this conversation comes and I was all “WTF are they talking about?”. I tried using a dictionary but for some reason got the impression they were talknig about something supernatural which does not seem to be the case.

I still think Takano is evil. Did they mention she was dead for sure in this arc or just disappeared?

Rena’s deduction was right in Watanagashi but that does not mean she is totally right this time.

Maybe she still is, since she let Reina know about her (inevitable) outcome.

A big thank you for translating that chunk of conversation. It’s like they compressed all this information specifically for this episode. My head nearly exploded too after reading the summary.

And paragraphing does wonders, seriously.

Reina is so much better than Keiichi in terms of deduction skills and combat capabilities. All Keiichi found was a syringe while she pieced together the entire puzzle (not without help, of course) without dying…yet.
