-Much speculation centers around whether Muro is trying to learn something from Shinatama by way of her neural link, and whether that's even possible, or whether he is simply torturing her for fun. Arguably, it is unlikely that Muro went through so much trouble in the last Chapter just to torture an android. But if we follow the theory that he wants her for Konoko-bait, then we could ask ourselves, why torture the bait? To anger Konoko? Keep in mind that although Konoko knows nothing, Muro knows all about the Chrysalis, including, no doubt, that the host influences the ultimate development of their Chrysalis. Is he trying to turn Konoko to the dark side with anger so she'll join him in his scheme? There's food for thought here, to be sure.
+*The goal of Shinatama's kidnapping is not clear: while it is true that Shinatama can withhold information about Konoko's symbiosis, it is normally forwarded to the science team through Damocles and stored in human-readable form at the [[Science Prison]] and at the HQ itself. Thus it would not be too logical to extract that information verbally from an android that is not even clearly "torturable" in the first place. There are, however, a couple possible motives for the raid.
+**First, by taking Shinatama away, Muro disrupts Griffin's Daodan project. Of course Muro has no direct control over Konoko's insubordination, Shinatama's death, Konoko's rogue status, etc.; he is merely an agent of chaos (cf. the Joker in the Dark Knight). With Shinatama gone, the tension will inevitably rise, until Konoko realizes that Griffin has been using her as a weapon against Muro.
+**As for Konoko's direct reaction to Shinatama's loss, Muro is curious to see it, whatever it is: he is not interested in his sister's stability, so he welcomes anger as a possibility (cf. Joker again). As a bonus, Muro gets to torture a WCG android and explore the degrees of pain it can endure.
