I agree the black and white rulings felt really off in this one. It feels like a basic misunderstanding of what happens to someone when they go thorugh abuse the way Misaki did, all her actions lined up well, but it still put a lot of the blame of the aftermath on her. As someone who's been through abuse, I can say that it can make you numb, even to those that depend on you and it's hard to get back to living. At the end it honestly felt like she wanted to do better and thought she had been on her way to a new life with her children. I also immediately chalked the physical attack up to the fact that she thought she could get back to her kids and was desperate. It doesn't make it right, but it feels like her motives should have a bigger impact on her judgement?

I suppose I could also see it as her soul wouldn't be able to recover from the abuse she suffered in life. In that respect, maybe the void would be a release. I really would have liked more reasoning for the decision here.
