She would have lived a long happy life with Yorito if it wasn't for them meeting Matsuri. So, it seems Aono was the real victim, the real protagonist in this series. I think that would be the twist in this episode: Aono's the hero/protagonist rather than Matsuri/Yorito.

Well when you explain it that way it definitely makes sense that Sola ultimately centers around Aono. Sola seems to be one of those series that has an initial main and a shadow main. The initial main is the main who more or less starts the story. In this case Matsuri/Yorito. While the shadow main is the one the story truly revolves around. In this case it would be Aono.

In any case the battle in episode 12 and 13 was an interesting combination of awesome and sad. Awesome for the way the fight went. Sad because instead of the usual hoping for the character to get the crap beaten out of her, you were hoping for her to be saved. Even if that meant saving her from herself.
