[Fish Sandwich]

I'd really like to support Die's reading of how Yuka... er, died, but the way that sequence emphasizes Kageyama gradually drawing closer and closer, culminating in that almost jump scare style cut where she's suddenly in her Orphenoch form, her face filling most of the frame, definitely gives me the distinct impression she wasn't only watching.

I don't think these two interpretations are all that mutually exclusive though? It's entirely possible whatever final wound Kageyama would've given Yuka, she could've seen it as more of an act of mercy than anything. Her dialogue is angry in tone, but the words themselves speak to somebody who's profoundly disappointed Yuka chose to play out her human life to its inevitable miserable conclusion rather than embracing what she could've been as a top-of-the-food-chain monster who doesn't take anyone's s***. It's hard to say. Kageyama's mind is scary and not something I really want to be all that deep in!
