I saw Miyo Takano a few times after that.

At her core, she was fascinated with the bizarre, and she had an insatiable curiosity that was just as strong.

I have to remind myself not to take her story too seriously.

...Otherwise...

I might start believing that Satoshi-kun disappeared because of the curse.

She talks about the dark history of Hinamizawa a lot. It's all very interesting.

Her theories are based on nothing but conjecture,

but some of her intuition covers facts that only members of the Sonozaki family would know.

She thinks that Oyashiro-sama's curse is the continuation of these ancient rituals.

In other words, she believes that the curse is performed by religious fanatics.

According to her theory, a religious cult once existed in Hinamizawa,

and the Three Families stemmed from it.

She believes that they are operating behind the scenes in order to revive the dignity of the Onigafuchi people, which was lost during the Meiji Era.

Miyo-san's theories are far-reaching, and looking at them on a larger scale, they end up making a lot of sense.

But they can't offer any explanation for Satoshi-kun's disappearance when using them on a smaller one.

Her theories are just too broad.
