I'm kinda up in the air about that, but as a game player, I just hope the least amount of changes to the latter chapters. I guess I'm just stubborn with the importance of the Rule Breaker.

Well Satoko's determination doesn't meant that Mr 'New Wind' is not gonna play a role. So far we know that Mion and Rena thinks that Satoko is paranoid, so I'm thinking the Kei will be the hero here and save Satoko (for a while at least) This leading Rika to relearn that fate and the 3 rules can be overcome.
But, man, I was hopping for a rather calm arc here, looks like the sh*t's about to hit the fan. Next week or two should be exciting.

BTW anyone know how any episodes this will be. If this arc ends in 2 weeks, making it ep 6. A 13 episode season would mean that 7 episodes left for the last 2 arcs which IMO is too short for the conclusions. While a 26 episode season would mean a staggering 10 episodes for the 2 arcs.
