Alice in borderland ep 5 first ten minutes spoilers
How does a baby who they said doesn’t even have a heartbeat yet become a game player? It’s literally… not alive yet? Like, people come to borderland when their heartbeat stops— but if it didn’t have one yet that and she’s so early on she didn’t even know she was pregnant, it probably hasn’t even developed enough *to* have a heart, right? I’m no biologist so idk… but does that mean if someone’s pregnant and there’s a game, like kick the can, where only a certain amount of people make it— does the kid count? Or do they count because they’re still attached to the mother…? And if so, why even count the kid in the number of players at all? I mean, I get narratively why to include it— to let everyone know, Usagi and especially Matsuyama, know she’s pregnant before the game starts which will undoubtedly be important. But also, why couldn’t she just ask, “oh why are we holding a baby in the simulation? The simulations been pretty close to the real world going on when we left so that’s pretty weird” and just have Arisu tell her like that. And while I’m on my before game rant— why didn’t Arisu argue back with “You wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for him” when his wife was defending the guy that brought her here with, he saved my life and I wouldn’t be here right now if not for him. Idk. Just seems like some communication would do wonders.
