Well, I'd think that was supposed to be the message of Saikoroshi. Leave her loops behind and live for the present. But she's always presented nowadays either running away from her past or nostalgic for it. Her character basically only exists in function of the loops even when she is supposed to be outside of them.

I wouldn't mind this characterization if the narrative acknowledged how damaged she is. I'm fine with Meguri's ending. But Sotsu and Reiwa present seem to present this as a happy status quo while allowing other characters to -actually- escape from any consequences of their pasts (Well, I guess Reiwa Rena is a bit of an exception here too).
