That aside, i feel Aono has been given way too much hax powers. Especially creating two clones of herself and she doesn't even look strained, while creating one Yorito landed her in to the hospital.

Spoiler:

Yeah, Aono was doing these things with ease. It's as if she's grown comfortable with the amount of power she's exerted after having created Yorito. So, now, she can expend as much as she wants without getting strained.

The way I look at it is this:
Aono is the equivalent of an athelete that's trained and trained and can do things with little strain.

Matsuri is the equivalent of a regular person and takes things in stride. But, when it comes to strenuous activity, she has to put more effort into it than someone's that's trained for it.

Therefore I think Aono built up her power over the years, and it looks like she's been creating Yorito for quite a while. And, she used most, if not, all of her power to make that creation as close to the real Yorito as possible. Matsuri, on the other hand, knew her situation beforehand and learned to accept it. She probably spent most of her life enjoying it as much as she can and maybe running away from people that considered her a threat.

Also, do you think Matsuri fatally stabbed herself? I've seen Matsuri get stabbed and thrown and beaten up, and still get up. She is a very tough girl; and whatever is thrown at her, she picks herself back up and hold her head up high.

I just don't think she died after plunging that sword into her. It didn't look like a fatal spot, but it did look very painful.

I guess we won't truly know until Ep.13 if Yorito became separated from Aono or ceased to exist and if Matsuri lived or not. Ahhh.. this wait is going to kill me. >_<;;;
