That "Have some" by Yuuko took me by surprise >->; Hmmm, looks like that didn't go very well. My mind just drew a blank when I had to translate "douzo".
Pages 9 and 10: Arrrgh! What the heck happened back then? Is 立つ an euphemism for something else, are Kohane's visions only symbolic (I didn't think so, judging from the latest spirit-viewing incident), or what?
You know what I first thought? That Kohane's vision of her father with the other woman was something that would happen inthe future. Of course she could not know it, so she told her mother. Her parents started their arguments, with the mother accusing the father of cheating on her; perhaps it was at that time that Kohane's vision came true...
Heck, if it's really like this that it went, I think I can understand why Kohane feels she's the one to blame for everything that happened. Poor kid. *hugs her along with Watanuki*
That makes sense, though I don't recall any instance where Kohane actually saw the future. It's possible that she just saw something really ordinary and her mother jumped to conclusions, though I'd expect someone who believes so much in "wishing" would react with denial instead of doing what she did. I mean, she'd need to have really low confidence to overreact if Kohane did indeed see something ordinary, and I don't see that going well with the whole "if you wish, it'll come true" thing about her.
True, Kohane was never shown having the power of seeing the future, but she's at least able to see the past: just look at the latest chapters, when she whispers to that woman that she was the killer of her husband. Why wouldn't she be able to also see the future?
Also, about her seeing something ordinary - even if that's the case, she says here that when she described the woman to her mother, she clearly recognised her as being one of her husbands' colleagues. Having just discovered her daughter's powers, she (at least in my opinion) quickly panicked, got frightened and jumped to conclusions, instead of calmly reflecting on the matter.
And of course, her 'if you wish, it will come true' mantra goes either way, both positive and negative. First we have a good wish (Kohane's birth), then a bad one. Although Yuuko would add at this point that no one can never judge if wishes are always completely good or bad.
Hmmm, I'm not sure if the wall episode could be evidence that Kohane sees the past. She could simply have contacted the spirit of the deceased. I think it also depends on where exactly Kohane gets her information from when doing this kind of thing. To someone getting information from, say, the dream world, there's probably no real difference between seeing the future and the past. To someone getting information from objects, people's minds or spirits, it's not so straight-forward
