2. Recap of Takopi’s Original Sin Episode 2
Episode 2 started with Shizuka having a rather peaceful day at school, since Marina didn’t pick on Shizuka even once. Takopi went as far as to think that the two may actually be on the path to becoming friends. Shizuka was having a pretty nice time taking night walks with Takopi and Chappy, and even spoke about her father, whom she apparently doesn’t resent. Takopi thought things were going smoothly, but Marina suddenly popped up to bully Shizuka in the middle of the night.
Marina’s goal was clear: she wanted to rile up Chappy by attacking Shizuka, get bitten, and report the incident so that Chappy would be taken away. Her goal was the make Shizuka as miserable as possible, and this was perfect for the cause. Takopi realised that losing Chappy is what made Shizuka devastated enough to commit suicide, so he used the happy camera and turned back time to avoid Marina on their walk.
Interestingly enough, avoiding Marina was never an option. Since Marina desperately wanted to put her plan in action, she was actively searching for Shizuka throughout the day. No matter how many times Takopi reversed time, losing Chappy was a canon event. In the end, Takopi gave up, and according to Shizuka’s mother, Chappy was sent to her father. Shizuka had lost all will to live and walked about looking like an empty shell after this. Marina’s bullying didn’t stop either, even after this.
As Shizuka walked home from school, Marina intercepted her and said she needed to talk to her, and took Shizuka into a restricted part of the forest to beat her up. She told Shizuka that Chappy had been killed to destroy any hope she had. She blamed Shizuka for everything unfair that happened at home, and told Shizuka to die to atone for anything. Takopi watched in fear as this happened, thought about using the happy camera to reverse time, but soon realised that the same incident was bound to happen so long as he cowered in fear.
With no ill intentions in heart, Takopi took a leap and hit Marina in the head with the happy camera. Not many would think the pink and cute camera could be used to attack a person, but that camera was more sturdy than it looked, and Takopi was definitely stronger than we expected, because Marina died instantly after taking that hit. At this tense and grave moment, Shizuka smiled brighter than she had ever smiled before, and told Takopi that she always wished Marina would just disappear. Since Takopi made this happen, she started believing in miracles and hoped to see Chappy again.
3. Speculation of Episode 2 of Takopi’s Original Sin
The story went in the most unpredictable direction when Takopi killed Marina. Takopi knew for a fact that murder is an act shunned by humans, but no kind of moral construct mattered to him as long as he could make Shizuka smile. The attack smeared blood all over the Happy Camera, so the Happy Camera isn’t functional anymore. Marina’s death is set in stone.
The upcoming episode of Takopi’s Original Sin will likely involve Marina’s body being discovered. With this, suspicion may be pinned on Shizuka since she was constantly being bullied by Marina. Hopefully, Shizuka didn’t leave any of her belongings at the murder site that could trace back to her.
