Despite being a shorter “bonus” chapter, there is still a lot to like here.
Having a point of view mostly disconnected from the usual cast and setting allows the reader to experience Hinamizawa from a refreshing new angle. Having the story structured this way might make the reader question different aspects of the narrative, and come up with new answers for previous questions.
The cop procedure is a very fun read, seeing a properly executed action scene was enjoyable. I also quite liked the Mahjong scene, obviously.
The new song Dancers #5 is a very good detective tune. Whilst plenty of other new songs awaken their own emotion. From the mysterious “days of children #3” to the panicked and tense “meditation”. Lots of good stuff here.
Even if it might feel very disconnected, it still manages to weave a strong ending using the reader's pre-existing knowledge.
