watching the first few episodes i felt like this was going to have a different pace compared to the 1 season, solely because it was focused on them searching for answers rather than engaging in games. there were less game scenes, but the ones that we got to watch were absolutely mind blowing.

i loved the new characters and got so excited seeing the old ones. to ep 1 to 6 my head was filled with theories!

i got so mad reaching episode 7, the final scene where everybody just d words took me by surprise. like ok you wanna take chishiya away? i already don't like that but at least he's just one. but then everyone else started dying while arisu was playing with deodorant ??? lmao ngl i kinda laughed (nervously). there was added suspense bc i just got to watch the finale a whole day after i watched ep 7, so i got a lot of time to morn over the characters and cry a bit more.

episode 8 however was a totally different thing. starting for the fact that it was more than an hour long i already knew i was going for a hell of a ride! and what a beautiful ride it was...
mira speech at the end with arisu and usagi explaining the reality of the world really got me. the plot with the trauma and her being his psychiatric was actually the one that made more sense to me since the beginning. i actually started season 2 waiting for this to be the final plot twist, with chota and karube being hit by the car and all. so imagine my surprise when all of a sudden that wasn't real anymore (again)? i got literal chills all over my body!!!

needless to say the last 20minutes was just me ugly crying while being so damn happy with where the plot were headed. i had my theories but i honestly think this couldn't have had a better ending. everyone got a last scene, everyone got closure.

it hits different watching aib again after you know where they are and i actually recommend a re-watch since you now got a totally new perspective!
