Kiro: I’m not going to like this, am I?
Shadow!Kechika: That’s right. If the Dubois surrenders her life first, the curse is broken and all are free.
Kiro: Of course I’m not doing that.
Shadow!Kechika: Oh, you think you’re so different. Look at it this way. You may watch your friends wither and die in the harshest winter you could imagine … or just end it in a few easy steps.
Kiro: I can’t do that.
I am not sure I trust her, not what that smile in the second frame… Kechika broke away of from her for a reason.
Pfft. Some deal.
The original Kechika knows how the curse works and what needs to be done to break it. In fact, SHE was the one who cursed the original Dubois in the first place! Dark Kechika clearly has an ulterior motive. In addition, we now know where Tongue-Eater got his beliefs from.
It bothers me that Dark Kechika is all too willing to kill Kiro to break the curse. What is she planning?
This doesn’t make any sense. Why would Shadow Kechika WANT to break the curse? Why would ”good” Kechika, who split herself BECAUSE she wanted to break the curse, not take the easy way out? Something else is going on here.
I don’t think they need to kill her, or they would have done that already. They need her to ‘surrender her life’ so she has to be willing.
There’s some real, deep rooted vengeance there. There’s definitely more to this.
DuBoises hate her- local woman finds a way to break curse in 3 easy steps!
I gotta think (and hope) that Kiro is savvy enough not to buy into some Faustian bargain. At least, not without a back-up plan.
Don’t forget that Kiro is an adopted Dubois, not one by blood… that’s gotta come into play at some point to foil the plan…
Plot twist: psychologically realistic, selfish character inheriting genes from selfish parents, causing doom for innocents in a desperate attempt to prolong her own life a few months, fabulating self-serving lies how her self-sacrifice wouldn’t have solved anything even if it in fact would have solved everything.
Looks like the comment I made using mobile got eaten (and last week’s comment, too), so I’ll just restate what I said before.
Obviously Kiro not wanting to die is a good enough reason to refuse this “generous”offer by itself, but I somehow feel like this claim isn’t the complete truth. I could easily imagine some kind of lie by omission such as, “Sure, the curse won’t directly kill the kids at camp, but they’re still on their own in the wilderness so good luck with that.” Also, she doesn’t necessarily confirm the curse would really end. It’s possible the curse will just seek out the next Dubois and continue the cycle until the entire family is obliterated. If the curse just wants to make people die, I suspect it wouldn’t be fussy about the method, whether it’s by exposure to the elements or tricking them to their death with lies and half-truths.
TL;DR: I’m with Kiro on this for sure. Don’t trust her!
It would not.
“true” kechicka said that either everybody live (breaking the curse) or everybody dies.
Kiro sacrificing herself would doom the rest, not save them
Feels like a trap. That’s not how these stories typically work. There’s a long way to go before she would sacrifice herself. Also, K2 said people would be free and it would be ended. Not that the others would survive. This is more of a test of despare.
