Ok, I really (and i do mean really) hate Aono now. Ever since the start i thought she has the potential to go Oyashiro mode, and ever since ep1 i said she has all the potential to make me hate her. She has managed both.
She needs to knock some sense in to herself if that is even possible. She is causing pain for every one - Matsuri, Herself, and Yorito as well. I mean - how do you think Yorito will react if he snaps out of it after stabbing Matsuri ? Assuming Matsuri gets away somehow and Yorito goes back home, he will be sulking in a corner considering himself not worthy of living.
No, i don't feel sorry for Aono at all - she has set herself up for more pain by establishing herself as his sister, and it is her own fault. Yorito loved Matsuri back then, and few centuries haven't changed that. (Makes me wonder if it indeed was Aono who killed Yorito back then in a jealous fit). I get the feeling that she is, more or less, directly responsible for all the pain all of our main cast is going trough.
Don't expect much rationality from me when it comes to her, because i would love to see her crash and burn. Plague of the night indeed.
