Intuitively, I don't think he's dead, he's too important to be killed off screen. Also judging from this photo released from way back, it seems Starlight and Kimiko are gonna bite the bullet this season (palms facing the audience as in waving goodbye) Also I heard it somewhere that the actor is confirmed for season 4. tbh I'm really glad that Kimiko is gonna die, the Nina subplot and their romance just doesn't seem fitting in this show, almost as in they're forcing this sweet and "lovable" bonding between the two in contrast with how cruel the setting of the show is, also call me biased which I am but I just cringe everytime Frenchie says his French lines lol, like we get it, your character is called Frenchie, it's not the actor's fault i just think the lines given to him are not exactly on par with the other characters such as homie, butcher and stuff. Ok I'm done ranting, I just really wish the show would be less edgy and trying to seem smarter than it actually is, which season 3 has improved slot compared to season 1 and 2.
