The reason why God was so involved in human affairs a long time ago but then noped out after Jesus is because God is going through the same motions for every animal species: making a covenant, giving commandments, and sending down his own child to die in the form of that species. I know this because I felt an odd urge to swallow a mouse yesterday and, when I questioned it, I received a vision from God saying that He was on mice right now, and the mouse I was about to swallow was the mouse-equivalent of Jonah. Tomorrow I'm supposed to spit him out in a den of sinful mice so that he can squeak to word of God at them. I wish that little guy the best.

"Despite being arguably the most famous island chain in the world in terms of biodiversity, the Galápagos Islands are still surprising scientists today.
A bird seen and recorded by Charles Darwin on his visit to Floreana island in 1835 has been observed in the wild there for the first time in 190 years.
Darwin’s observations from the small, south-central island in the volcanic chain included the presence of a small, secretive bird called the Galápagos rail (Laterallus spilonota).
Just two years ago, several organizations began work on the large-scale Floreana Island Restoration Project. By removing invasive species that devastated native wildlife for generations, the local environment once again became a haven for species to recover and thrive.
The Galápagos rail, a land-bird endemic to the archipelago, has been severely impacted by these invasive species. It dwells on the ground, is extremely vulnerable to predators, and relies on dense, lush vegetation to hide in. But despite these dangers, the rail has proved to be a resilient and resourceful little bird.
The rails, locally known as Pachays, have been quick to return to restored islands. In 2018, six years after the conservation nonprofit Island Conservation successfully removed invasive species from nearby Pinzón Island, the Rails were among the first locally-extinct animals to reappear—along with other species such as the cactus finch.
It hasn’t been long since the Floreana Island Restoration Project began, but the rails have already repopulated it.
During their most recent annual landbird monitoring expedition on the island, teams from the Charles Darwin Foundation and Ecuador’s state agency for managing the archipelago recorded the bird’s presence at three distinct sites.
The birds were present and away from human habitation and agriculture, in a grassland shaded by guava trees. Confirmed findings include six acoustic records, two visual sightings, and one photograph. And it isn’t a coincidence that they’re back now—the site has been monitored for the Galápagos rail consistently since 2015, and this is the first year they’re back.
“The rediscovery of the Galápagos rail confirms what we’ve seen on islands worldwide—remove the invasive threats, and native species can recover in remarkable ways,” said Island Conservation’s Conservation Impact Program Manager Paula Castaño in a statement.
“This is an incredible win for Floreana, and fuels our excitement about what other native species might resurface as the island continues its journey toward ecological recovery.”
Next, scientists must use genetic sampling to determine whether these newly recorded birds are from a self-reintroduced lineage or whether there was a tiny population of rails that survived, undetected, for 190 years.
Island Conservation details how that’s not unheard of: on nearby Rábida, the organization’s restoration efforts led to the rediscovery of a species of gecko that was only known to science through subfossil records dated more than 5000 years old. They’d been living on the island in very low numbers for hundreds of years, but it was only once holistic restoration had taken place that they were able to increase their numbers to detectable levels.

With a local population already establishing itself, chances are good for a successful reintroduction. Soon, it’s hoped, Floreana’s grasslands will be home to a large, thriving colony of rails.
“It gives us hope that there might be even more ‘extinct’ Galápagos species to find,” the statement read.""

“The leader of an organization is at the pinnacle of that organization and, at the same time, he is its slave. The leader must be more than willing to commit any atrocity in order to ensure the organization’s survival.” - So the pierrot said on top of the world, waving a lonely flag.
“Of course. Sadly, I must help a clumsy leader with reestablishing the organization.” (Kouyou, episode 24) “Then, this blood and all I have I offer to you boss. I will become your slave and protect this organization you loved so much you are willing to become its slave.” (Chuuya, Light Novel “Fifteen”)

How did Yosano feel at that moment during the war? First of all, she doesn't remember much. If she had sank the ship, she would have died, everyone would have died. It could mean she was in a deranged state.
It could be a bit similar to the chapter 28 where Q's and John's abilities were combined and Q was screaming «I've never asked for this kind of ability! But why do such terrible things always happen to me?» «this rotten world... I'll burn it down!». Trauma, mental breakdown...
I want to see Q in manga again, I want the happy end

Someone had to convince many military men that Yosano wasn't so guilty. Not just people, but soldiers of a losing army on the most hopeless part of the front. The ones who constantly feel the fear, the anger, the injustice of what's going on. People who could easily kill. It was unlikely that many cared about her after Tachihara's brother died. She didn't seem to use the ability after that. She didn't even remember anything.
Somebody managed to convince everyone. Because she wasn't executed. Even in Chapter 57, where the government obtains evidences incriminating the agency, this incident doesn't come up. They only talk about suspicion of killing a patient while she was a military physician.
Someone is obviously Mori.
What was his motivation? 🧐 He just wanted to protect her and felt responsible/guilty or he was planning “now, I convince them that because of Yosano's mental state, not jail or execution, but at most a psychiatric hospital is needed, the girl will be sent away, I'll come back from the war, find her and then I'll become a mafia boss and create my immortal regiment after all...”. 🤭🤣 Come on, who was able to plan that far at that moment? He could die next day. But a little calculation might have been involved.
Mori's motives are always too complicated.
