I dunno. If somebody like Elsa turns out to be one of the sins, then I´d get the feeling that this whole world is fake. Like, it´s all happening in Subaru´s mind only. It already felt weird that apparently the whale is one of the sin members, too. Like it´s all designed around Subaru.
Btw. I´m not saying the episode itself was bad/badly directed or anything. My anger applies exclusively to Subaru´s fucked up choice. I cannot comprehend it. That is all.
