We finally learn that Ken's dead relative isn't a sister, as I speculated, but his mom, and that Shinjiro killed her by accident. Now he's out for revenge, and Shinjiro tells him to just do it. The Strega guy who looks like Jesus (he has a name, but I can't see anything except Jesus, especially when he starts talking about salvation) shows up and says Shinjiro will die from the persona-suppressing drugs anyway, and I love Ken's reaction of "that's not fair, I wanted to kill him."

Even though Jesus is so good at reading people that he can tell Ken plans to commit suicide l later, when he asks which party member can find shadows psychically, he believes him. He takes a shot, but Shinjiro jumps in front of the bullet. Everyone shows up in a poorly-animated cutscene, and Shinjiro dies.

"C'mon, kid, you're just a kid." Is this the successor to "People die when they are killed?"

And then everyone went to school the next day like normal, and somehow the school is aware that a student died and has a memorial already set up. Does... does the school just keep dozens of wreathes ready in a closet just in case?

Overall, Shinjiro's death is an effective scene, and the game even returned his gear to me.
