Zetsuen no Tempest - ep12

Things are heading towards a conclusion, with the possibility that Aika was kill by Exodus's human avatar. That the tree of genesis used her death to move Mahiro to help Hakaze. However Mahiro doesn't like how this logic plays out because everything seems too favorable for Hakaze. This start a new argument that Genesis could just be shielding the killer, and trying to make it appear as if there was someone that served Exodus. Although when Hakaze begins to question if the tree of Genesis could have really killed someone for her, that everything is not just one huge coincidence. The tree of genesis answers her doubt of it power by sending her a missile because she was having trouble finding Samon's offering. This proves to Hakaze that it is possible that the tree of genesis had Aika killed.

Now after all this debate Hakaze is finally returning, and what a return it is. It's kind of funny that in the light of all that is happening, there is a bit of humor with Yoshino being alarmed surprised that she came back naked. Although this small bit of humor is quickly dissolved when Genesis appears to fight exodus. Things start to get confusing when it is become clear that maybe neither tree is really beneficial to humanity. That perhaps the best outcome would be if both trees were to lose, this fact becomes clear when Genesis kills both Yoshino and Mahiro.

The first question that comes to mind is why, they help Hakaze all this time why kill them when murder is suppose to go against what Genesis stands for. The only true justification for this act would be if Aika was the Mage of Exodus, but because of their close relationship to Aika it would declare them as enemies. That it might of only allowed them to live as long as they were working to bring Hakaze back. Also the brings up another point if Aika served Exodus, then the tree of Genesis would have a reason to want her dead. Also there is another point beyond that fact that Hakaze came back from the dead, but if that is true couldn't that mean that Aika if Aika serves Exodus could it be possible that her death wasn't as it seemed. Anyway things end with Samon and Hakaze trying to save the two, while the quote from Aika suggest that she isn't really dead.
