How did Sara from Samurai Champloo know about her son?


In Samurai Champloo, how in the world did Sara realize her son was dead while
talking to the pinwheel guy?




She had some sort of extrasensory perception, which is proven by the fact that
she was blind, but still proficient in fighting. Also, she tells Fuu that she
is able to sense things she cannot see, and she can sense Momo hidden in her
clothes. When she fights Muugen, she tells him she can sense his anger,
meaning she could somehow feel what other people feel and their states of
mind.

Given the above, and the fact that she realizes that her son is dead when a
pinwheel stops, I can only conclude that the stopping of the pinwheel made her
realize some state of mind/feeling coming from the pinwheel merchant
(something she was not aware of before), which in turn made her realize her
son was dead.

Although this is speculation, it is the only thing that seems plausible to me.
However, the stopping of the pinwheel may have some deeper meaning that I am
not aware of.
