Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Episode 23: Tsumihoroboshi Chapter Three - A Place to Return to

This is a practice on the blogging format.

Quick Summary
After listening to Teppei and Rina’s conversation and checking her father’s safe box, Rena realizes that Rina is out to financially ruin her family, and in turn, her happiness. Rina pursues Rena to the Hinamizawa dump site to pressure Rena into accepting her into Rena’s family, but Rena vehemently objects. Then Rena reveals that she knows Rina’s plan, which causes Rina to make an attempt on Rena’s life. Rena manages to overpower Rina and club her to death. She then lures Teppei to the same place and murder him with a cleaver. The next day, Rena dismembers the bodies and cleans up the bloody mess, but Keiichi and her friends appear. They still accept Rena as their friend even after her confession. Together, they cart away the bundled pieces of Rina and Teppei’s body. A few days later, the Watanagashi Festival begins, and Officer Oishi shows up with a suspicion in Rena.

Impression
Bleh, I’m not gonna go deep into the plot of this story… It seems fairly straightforward so far; Rena getting mad and murdering two people. A perfectly normal day in Hinamizawa. At some point during Shion’s killing spree in Meakashi, I’ve lost my ability to even be remotely disturbed by Higurashi blood and gore. Nearly cleaving Teppei’s head in two halves is a-okay with me. That guy deserves to die anyways.

However, I shall offer you an animated .gif of Rina vs. Rena:

How low can Rina’s pants go?

Only in Hinamizawa, will your friends still support you as a murderer, and be awfully happy about it.

Friends don’t let friends cart away corpses alone.
