Saki finally remembers Shun's face, and it seems she is now capable of seeing him as an adult.
Interesting that he points out that the child isn't a fiend. Without the proper conditioning, the child would have no death feedback and could fight like a fiend without actually being one. Perhaps it is more like a trained attack dog.
Yes, but I don't think it's the same as flesh and blood completely. My theory is that Shun is somewhere in between figment of her imagination and real flesh and blood. He's only ever spoken to her in her mind, but once she saw him not once did he speak. You would expect him to at least say something once Saki remembered his name.
The writers wrote it pretty ambigious. I think its more like star wars, when yoda and obi-wan transcend into the force and can communicate in the afterlife.
We should take note when the Koufuu Hino died, his cantus ascended into the heavens, meaning theres some kind of afterlife or spiritual world. So maybe shun is just communicating in the spiritual world since he transcended into the spiritual world like in star wars.
