If you did then you might wonder about the suddenness of what happened and indeed in watching the movie, it still feels very sudden but the reasons are explained and if you were in Rie’s shoes, well, ghost shoes, then you would do the same thing too. As for Mari, for some reason she turns around and tries to flee which I guess means that I have ben to hard on her. It seems she knows, or has an inkling of what Rie is but Rie won’t let her go so easily, not this time! ‘You’ve returned, haven’t you? Please don’t leave. I’ve waited so long to see you again.’ That statement raises no flags at this time but as we soon find out, it means a whole lot more.
