Kihara - moving more into camera view here. I find her kind of cute/sweet like a little earnest puppy. She feels like she's being cut out of the running before it starts by her over-eager classmates. Funny how even she is able to articulate Ryuuji's underlying frequency before he does (though its out of the clarity of her panic).
I kind of like the slowly expanded field of characters being focused on as well as the deepening complexity of Ami and Minorin.
Taiga is a sugar plum faerie... a dark faerie.
