MW/Headscratchers


 * How did turn out alive in the end?
 * How did the MW gas affect Michio if he and Garai survived by hiding in a cave for hours?
 * Don't they get affected by the gas only when they go down into the village the next day? And Michio, being younger, would presumably be more vulnerable.
 * How is Michio going to commit Suicide by Cop?
 * How is Michio like Johan?
 * Well, they're both crossdressing social engineer extraordinaire villains of the highest degree, being hounded by a protagonist who, while not stupid, is actively hampered by an idealism extreme enough that, by the way the villains toy with it, might as well be. I'll admit Johan is a lot more subtle on many counts, but the influence is pretty obviously there, IMO.
