On the contrary, I got a GOOD feeling about Issa. That smile at Kokoa's little break-through (and Gyokuro's little WTF face) was very telling in the mood. It only makes sense if Issa was doing all of this all on his own.
And wow, I really REALLY wanted to punch Gyokuro. You just don't DO that to your own daughters...! Usually, I'm the one who likes to save all the pretty girls, regardless of their moral standing but Gyokuro just wiped all setiment off with that.
