Shin Sekai Yori Episode 23

Wait…was that really Shun? No appearance in the preview would indicate that maybe it’s another illusion, but they could be doing that so as not to give anything away. If he is alive, that begs the question of what he’s been doing this entire time. Everything was all part of someone’s plan…Shun was fighting against the village this whole time? They’re all behind this? But they’re all dead…

Next week, I guess things get unraveled. Based on the preview, it looks like Satoru tries to use the Psychobuster on Maria and Mamoru’s child, but Saki tries to stop him. I assume that has something to do with Shun’s comment that he isn’t actually a fiend. Don’t tell me this is Yakomaru’s plan…that he knew they’d try to kill the fiend. It has to be something else…
