Decent chapter. Very Yuki and Kaname centered. We get to see a little more about purebloods ancestors and their "sleeping habits". The broken glass flashback didn't do much for me. You're lonely, I get it. Way too little Zero and Ruka in this chapter and way too much Kain and Kaname. I figured out why I can't ever like Kaname at least. You might want to skip if you're a big Kaname fan.

Spoiler for Kaname mini-rant:

The guy reminds me too much of Akio from Revolutionary Girl Utena. He's not the same but similar in many ways. The way he talks to Yuki here is classic Akio. He goes out of the way to make her feel guilty and that everything is her fault. Then he plays the classic selfless prince ready to forgive her sins and accept her fully. You rarely see a character who can lay it on so thick. Zero never had to do anything of the sort but she still felt guilty.

Also his lines about the proof that she loved him was that she was chose him seems filled with purposeful misdirection. He seemed to skip the part where he led her into a position where a complete wedge was driven into Zero and Yuki relationship due to the secret and that ever 5 secs he seemed to be reminding her of "the place she belonged". She didn't really have much of a choice now did she? Especially since you kept secrets from her till the last moment. How many more secrets do you have?

I can't like him at all. While Zero isn't perfect he makes no illusions towards that fact. Kaname tries too hard to appear to be perfect but his flaws and failings are there if you look behind the facade. He's way too pompous to stomach at times. If Zero ever becomes like him I'll have to disown this series.

And no this isn't because the chapter was KanameXYuki centered. I'm always 150% confident in the fact that Yuki loves Zero first and foremost. It's just the more I see of Kaname's real personality the less and less I find him likable. The school Kaname was always a facade and I knew this but I was able to at least stomach him somewhat more.

Hopefully we get the meeting next chapter. I'm looking forward to it.

Spoiler for Kaname:

Personally that is what i like about him. That Perfect, Mysterious, and Manipulative personally just makes me scream , and the fact that Yuki is capable of just tearing down the perfect facade of Kaname is just too cute. I personally hope that this is the end of the Yuki-Kaname -> Just left together adjustment period. Which it should be given Yuki's Resolution at the end of the chapter. Unfortunately she said almost the exact same thing earlier right as the Rido Arc was concluding, so I'm still a little hesitant to accept that she's really accepted her path. Takuma and Sara seem to be getting along a little too well, which is unsettling. That pureblood family in the Gorge on the otherhand, I bet will have something either to do with Kaname's development, Or will come into play with the plot later on. I really hope the Ball is next chapter, so Zero can finally meet with Yuki again after a long time.
