I loved the artwork on the double page spread. As soon as I saw it I knew it must be a dream sequence, as they're always crowded with strange stuff. I'm especially intrigued by the robot teddy bear, but also the three dancers picture on the wall behind.

I wonder if Mikoto actually has a family? Perhaps someone will come home just as Tsubaki is going to go for it....

The crying made me think of Lum's alien boyfriend in Urusai Yatsura, who appeared to be crying about Lum rejecting him but was actually crying because the sweet potatoes he was eating tasted so good. Maybe Tsubaki is crying for an analagous reason.
