Atleast I hope so. I felt a little sorry for her this episode, though. I just dont see her getting alto, ever, not after that heartwarming alto/sheryl scene. Yay!

It is kinda disappointing that she needs someone else to snap her out of it, but well, that is what Ranka's been all about anyway, so it makes sense, I guess.
Don't you think it's just a huge cliche that she has to "snap" out of anything at all? Yeah, she'll probably come around somehow, but it's still essentionally having to be rescued again. She came to the Vajra homeworld for a purpose, and she's not even going to get a chance to try to fullfill it. She got to sing "Aimo" once, and stopped the sentries for a little bit, before things went awry, and then she got kidnapped again, and now Grace is just blantantly using her somehow.

Ranka was supposed to get something out of this, but she ended up just being a tool and damsel in distress one last time.

Even the Vajra aren't allowed to have a proper goal or motiviation in the final episodes. It's all Grace's meddling.
