yeap.. I just watched the last ep on my TV and was able to see that one sec when they show the dirt on her knees ... I was watching with my portable video player which has a small wide screen and makes it hard to notice these small but relevant details.... I guess I was kinda anxious about getting an answer to this doubtful situation cause Horo is one of those female characters that you put wayyy up there against any other female character and the thought of something bad happening to her was just too much.... glad to know that was not the case....
