Talk:The Journalist/@comment-26529154-20161015052750

My old thoughts: The Journalist is Megami's father. So he doesn't allow her to go to school.

My new thoughts: The journalist is not afiliated with the Saikou family in general, only with Megami's father. Megami's father was one of the only ones who believed in the journalist when he discovered the truth about Ryoba. When Ryoba had a daughter, the journalist warned Megami's father, and he told Megami the truth about the Aishi family, so he decided that Megami would skip some weeks of school. In the final week, Megami can't take it anymore, so she tells her dad that she wants to stop Yandere-chan, BUT if Yan-chan eliminated her rivals peacefully (most of them) Megami's dad would struggle a little bit, before allowing her to actually get to school ( a little detail, doesn't change the plot in general ) otherwise, if  Yan-chan eliminated all of the rivals (most of them) killing, leading to suicide, poison, then Megami's dad would accept his daughter decision.
