Ito loves the cannibalism thing, and this is an early example of that. Also, I get that it's a psychological horror so their minds are supposed to be bent, but we saw with the teacher in the hospital earlier that even thralls of Tomie can consider the possibility of burning her, so WHY does this guy's first thought consist of "let's tie up my parents and put the HUMAN FLESH in the FOOD PRODUCT". This could've been done more cleanly, is what I mean. Also, both these guys loved Tomie and they didn't end up killing each other? Win for bromance.
