Did anyone else find this line suspicious?
Usually that phrase would mean that the "one other" is a relative that is still alive. Maybe I'm forgetting something obvious but I'm not sure who it would be. There is the Nozomu is her dad theory and I suppose you could link it into that.
Interesting; the way this person is described feels like an attempt to hide an extra secret in addition to "Sana actually having a still alive family member unbeknownst to her and viewers".
For example, if "one other" means her dad, not simply referring to him as "her douchebag/absent father" to me implies that there is something else to hide in addition to "oh ok so the dude is still alive" because the emotional weight of he being deceased or not is so little. Hence, perhaps his identity/origin alone already could be another plot twist that can't be disclosed yet, or at least not during this goofy ass update.
So the option that fits my headcanon for this "one other" is:
- Her dad, hypothesized to be Nozomu, same as your suspicion and also my go-to. Sana is actually Sensei's niece. This also means Nozomu is
alive by some broad definitions if we are to take "
survived by one other" very literally.
And by assuming her dad really is Nozomu, we get other options like:
- Sensei. Sana's hypothesized uncle. This option negates the need to think about whether Nozomu is actually dead or not.
- Ami. Sana's hypothesized half sister (or cousin).
- Rin. Sana's hypothesized half sister and is actually Sensei's niece, with the additional required assumption that Rin's biological father is also Nozomu.
Pretty sure a good part of this exhaustive method is overthinking because some of the candidates aren't even mutually exclusive and will contradict the supposedly singular "one other" (especially when it comes to Sensei and Ami), and I am not sure whether or not relatives that aren't parents/sibling/spouses/children are usually applicable to "survived by
family members". So "the other" means Sana's dad (whether he is Nozomu or not) is still the least messy candidate.
Meanwhile, Sara being pregnant is a lot less likely because this event plays out exactly the same even if you didn't fuck Sara.
