Episode 3! (thx Naisho )

Spoiler:

Seen alot more of Hotaru now... It's strange how she does care for Mikan and the place she came from, but has severe trouble expressing it (and that's putting it mildly) or anything else for that matter, and only shows it very rarely and in her own quirky way - without any actual emotion ofcourse. For now she only comes across as a loner that doesn't want to be troubled by anyone and somewhat of a material girl, charging for everything possible. She did put a dent in her goal for honor student, but does demand Mikan to reimburse her for her loss.

Fire boy seems to have some redeeming qualities, eventhough he sends Mikan to a hazardous place to test her mettle. She gets help from the class representative, no idea what she can do to help though since she hasn't shown her alice yet and didn't use it when in trouble so perhaps it's not a very useful one to begin with. Hotaru shows up eventually, after demanding another fee ofcourse, she'll probably be able to help out more. If Mikan's alice is indeed immunity/nullification it won't help her much in this situation and she'll have to rely on the others.
