Why does Hanyuu keep touching Keiichi near the end?

[Miss Inputs]

Either this wasn't in When They Translate's translation or I didn't remember it, but in chapters 11 (where Keiichi is whichever level it is where you start being aware of Hanyuu) and beyond I'm seeing a bit of 'It was the feeling of Oyashiro-sama caressing the back of my neck' and 'It felt like someone's hand was caressing my back' (while nobody visible was around), and I can't help but feel that's a bit inappropriate, I mean it's obviously freaking Keiichi out and while I'm usually one to talk about doing/saying things which disturb people (IRL), I can't help but feel Hanyuu should really stop. Does she not notice Keiichi's reaction? Or does she not care? Is Hanyuu actually a pervert and enjoys touching people?

Keiichi could have just misinterpreted some of his feelings wrongly, thinking they where caused by Oyashiro-sama, but they where just some automatic/random responses from his body.

This is the most likely explanation for most "manifestations" of Oyashiro.

Especially if this is close enough to the end that Rika's dead. Because you know for a fact Hanyuu has left the building at that point.

She might not be (albeit would be after the arc finishes), in the manga version Satoko and Rika are seen alive at the end of the arc being informed of the other 3's deaths... hit me right in the feels.

Well... there is this one doujinshi I have...

Is that the one involving Rika and Hanyuu's senses being interlinked? I think I remember something like that.

Not at all. I think I have the one you're thinking of though, did it have other sections with Takano and Chie as well?

I dunno, I only browsed past it looking for doujins that weren't featuring loli characters, I'm not into that stuff (needs more Rena).

I'm not a fan of loli stuff either, though I don't consider Hanyu to be a loli.

Well this is Hanyu. You know, the person who thinks following around someone who's descending into paranoid insanity and telling them over and over that she's sorry is helping the situation instead of making things worse when they actually manage to hear her.

I could see her trying to calm down Keiichi with a soothing neck rub.

I still don't think it's her. She would probably be hanging with Rika.

She still runs off and does her own thing every once in a while. Still, most of her time is with Rika it seems.

What's almost funny is that after 100s of lifetimes, she hasn't worked out that harassing her friends doesn't help.

It makes things much worse. :(

[DO YOU REMEMBER LINGERIE]

Two reasons;

One, Hanyuu thinks she's doing the right thing and helping her friends by following them around and telling them she's sorry. This is because she's an idiot. Well-intentioned, though, but still a colossal idiot.

Two, it's not actually Hanyuu doing everything. It's his natural reactions of fear and stress, or... something else more physical... and he's attributing it to Oyashiro-sama's supernatural influence because his mind has been primed to accept that by certain individuals.
