To be fair to you, I do think Den-O deliberately writes its big mystery plot so as to obfuscate the details, even during the bits where it seems like it's finally trying to fill you in (recall also how the movie tie-in stuff happened, for a similar thing you've already seen the endpoint of), so I can also see where you might have trouble picking out particular bits of information. It's very much a show that likes to play its cards close to its chest.

If I might throw your own words right back at you, I hope I don't come off like I'm saying you're dense or stubborn for not being super on-board with all of this. Again, that fog bank thing you said summed it up *perfectly* – there's a flavor to some of Den-O's storytelling that is evidently more up my alley than yours, and, you know, that's fine!

It's a story that feels like it's going out of its way to not have anyone talk to each other in order to needlessly prolong an uncomfortable story.

(And by the way – and I want to stress I'm not saying this to start some argument – but I find it very amusing seeing you talk about a script by Kobayashi the way a lot of people talk about anything Inoue has ever written.)
