She was left off intentionally, thank you very much. It would have been superfluous anyway. In Japanese literature, there aren't any non-oniicon imoutos. I did forget someone though:

Miyokichi -- assuming she actually exists as portrayed in Kyon's EIC★SA story... (why should the effect of his Unreliable Narrator powers be limited to us?)

At first, she seemed to be like a lowgrade Yuki, barely able to assert any comprehensive sentance. But after the contact with Kimidori in the cafe, her linguistic skills took a sudden leap. The more time she spent near Asakura, the better and better she got, to where she even mimiced her smile. Why did she attack Kyon? Because Asakura was. Kimidori's presence probably nuetralized some of that hostility, but if the DITE doesn't do something quick, Kuyoh's going to have all the capabilities of all their interfaces.

Upon further reflection, her starting point probably WAS due to the brief period in Snow Mountain, where the Canopy Domain got a glimpse of Yuki. (Hence the stoic face, the broken sentances, and the attraction to Kyon )

I like this. It doesn't fail the "obvious fanfic theory justification" test, and it actually makes sense, in a creepy, twisted, perfectly fitting way. This is my new favorite Canopy Domain/Kuyoh theory, until (dis)proven or a better one comes along.

Towards my face.

"?!"

So what exactly was Kuyou trying to accomplish here? Some kind of shift from wanting to grab Kyon to nearly socking him in the face...

Personally I got the distinct impression from that scene that she was trying to sock him (with fingers brought together in a knife-like jab, apparently, so I don't know if "sock" is the right word) in the back of the head. She just planned to go through his face to do it.
