Ethan Chen asked this question about The Devotion of Suspect X (Detective Galileo, #1):
I dont understand why did misato slit her wrists at the end. Was it just to signify that shes been traumatised and collateral damage of all this drama or was there some other reason?

From the novel we know that Misato doesn't agree with her mother being with Kudo, because she feels that Ishigami's sacrifice for them is very big. But when her mother texted that night that she would be home late, Misato knew right away that her mother had a date with Kudo. I think Misato has a very deep sense of empathy for Ishigami, plus another factor is that she feels pressured by all the situations that occur. that's what drives her to do self harm.(less)
