I want to say it is from one of Neil Gaiman's stories but I will have to look to find it again. Basically it goes like this..."Do not consult the dead for knowledge. The only thing the dead can teach us is death. To live look towards the living." Apt advice for the death obsessed cultures you find in Asia. You have to wonder what would have happened if the 1st letter wasn't delivered. Shouta died because of it and Asuna died because of the 2nd letter. For me the episode ended on a very disturbing note because Miku recieved a 3rd letter and for all intent/purposes the shigofumi curse seemed to be cyclic. It also makes you wonder at the purpose of shigofumi itself. The system and the earlier Hell Correspondance system seem to be designed to highlight the darkness in the human consciousness. But it is the equivalent of putting a gun in someone's hand. They can't claim innocence from what happens afterward. When I saw the episode I was reminded of this line I read somewhere.
