I will now present the 'Satoko is a good girl' theory . It obviously doesn't cover everything we've seen so far but sounds pretty plausible to me. Still has some weak points.
>Satoko is the second looper
>Satoko doesn't know Rika can remember her deaths
>The beginning of the episode 16 is out of order
now how it goes:
>In all the previous arcs Satoko was doing everything to make things right, In Onidamashi she was pretty close but they both fucked up, Rika by telling K1 to trust Rena and Satoko by doing something off-screen that enabled Rena to go berserk. Satoko kills Rika and then herself in the same way. Why? because she's a good girl.
>In all the arcs after that she was trying to create the perfect world without much success, surely Rika's actions involved here
>then Hanyuu disappears
>Rika now can remember her deaths but Satoko can't hers
>Rika is going more and more suspicious of something else going on
>The river episode happens, Rika starts to think she only had to accept the world as it is or is trying to make Satoko think she does because she's already suspicious (questionable)
>The fragment is going well but Rika can't believe it
>She remembers Hanyuu's words about the sword and confirms the second looper
>She traps Satoko who is still thinking Rika can't remember shit so she just pulls the gun out to restart YOU ARE HERE
next
>Rika dies but is full of hope because she has a clear enemy to defeat
>she stops counting her deaths
>Satoko DOESN'T know that Rika knows
>I have no fucking idea what happens here but it's tragic as fuck
>We're back to the disemboweling scene, Rika snaps her fingers for the fifth time
Weak point - the river scene raises questions
Why would Satoko even do it? Because she knows that not creating the perfect world in Hinamizawa will let to a tragic outcome in the future
I think it's even possible that Satoko isn't aware that Rika is a looper before things start to go terribly wrong in Nekodamashi.
Why the episode 16 is almost certailny out of order? Everything that happens after the disemboweling scene doesn't make fucking sense, it only looks like it does because it's emotional. Rika isn't trying to kill herself, there's no thinking of suicide, nothing. She's just weirded out that things go well. She still hasn't snapped her fingers for the fifth time.
Also fuck /a/, fuck Italianon and fuck you too, I'm posting it for a screencap anyways.
