>You may be misreading my posts because I am not disputing the fact that Hanyuu ran out of power.
Then I don't see what's the hole you're attempting to poke here. You want ability working on fumes to run as an exact clock and think there's a contradiction if the error isn't the same every time? Even though the whole point is that the ability is failing.

>Well no, before talking to him she monologues that what happened to Keiichi in Tsumi was a once-in-a-lifetime miracle and is the whole reason that she's extremely nervous about asking him just to make sure.
Nah, you can see from her monologue she's extremely optimist initially. It's just afterwards when it doesn't happen she gets depressed.

>Rika literally forgave Takano during the time freeze AS she was shooting Hanyuu, dude. Her and everyone else were perfectly fine with Tomitake rescuing Takano. Then the final narration also says that it'd be perfectly ok if Takano returned to the village willy nilly. Rika absolutely cannot hold grudges.

The point is that St.Lucia is still going forward with throwing students into what's effectively prison. It's not like the principal had a change of heart. It's still the same school. And we're supposed to think that the same person who was willing to forgive people who attack and betray her doesn't have a single drop of empathy for something like that? It's just extremely out of character doesn't matter how you look at it. It's a situation that exists because Rika reacting to that bizarre scenario breaks the plot if she decided she wouldn't return to St.Lucia.

>For her future to be of that of high society, she needs to be educated in high society first.

She has no "high society" future though. We get no info about any dreams beyond St.Lucia itself. It's an empty shell of a dream, and everything R07 himself has talked about pushes that even more forward rather than suggesting there were more complex ideas behind it that the anime failed to touch upon (like R07 highlighting the architecture out of all things in interviews or in the 20th anniversary event talking about Rika likely wouldn't go on to study for college and would just return to Hinamizawa after being done with high school since she doesn't like studying). Well, I guess it's better than Satoko just ending a series that was supposed to be focused on her completely aimless with no real goal for the future, but we're supposed to look at that as "growth" because she let go of the "Rika" problem, like Rika was somehow responsible for all her trauma that goes completely unaddressed.
