Ambiguous Situation

Ambiguous Situation: Did Gotanda really kill Mei as Yuki claims? He is unsure about it, and given that Yuki admits what she senses are emotions and mental images instead of direct events, it might be he just believes to be the killer due to his unspecificed mental pathology. On the other hand, what if he did kill her, but under a Split Personality? Or maybe he is a perfectly sane murderer and is trying to confuse the narrator with his professional acting skills by putting a show of self-doubt? In any case, why did he commit suicide? Was it due to guilt, madness or the belief that he would be caught by the police? Or was he actually attempting to stop his inner evil or split personality once for all by killing himself?

Alone with the Psycho: Inverted from the usual way. The narrator and the killer go out for pizza at a crowded Shakey's, and the narrator has to awkwardly broach the subject while they're eating. After admitting he killed Kiki, Gotanda slips away while the narrator goes to get a beer, and kills himself shortly afterwards.
