[He looks a little blown away by this reveal, but he keeps quiet until Keiichi finishes. The bit about tearing your own throat out is... wow. That's gruesome.]
...So what you're saying is there's a woman here who's out to kill a girl named Rika by whatever means necessary. But you're not sure whether she's doing it out of malice or paranoia or a mix of the two.
And more importantly, you're worried about her stress levels and the fact that Rika isn't here to begin with, so she's at higher risk of her Syndrome getting worse. So she's potentially a danger, but her knowing that we think that will only make things worse... and will therefore make her a threat to others.
[Adell folds his arms over his chest.]
I do have a few things to say. First, do we have any doses of that medicine available? If we're dealing with something as serious as the syndrome, we need to be prepared to deal with it.
Second, what if this Rika Furude person shows up in Luceti? Would that act as an anchor for the Syndrome and keep it suppressed? And how likely do you think this person would try to kill Rika if she was here?
Third, if this affects everyone from Hinamizawa, that means anyone from your hometown would be infected too... which meant Rena was as well.
...I'm going to be honest with you. At one point I had talked with her about my own world. How I fought to overcome a curse. She seemed terrified at the mention of the word "curse" and it sounded like she was dealing with one of her own. She was too distressed to go into detail, and I didn't press it because she looked so... scared. But I take it that the whole Hinamizawa Syndrome is what she was alluding to?
