Heh, nice to see that some things stay the same amidst all the

Same here. And it reminds me: When do we learn some more about
Ryouga's home life - or what passes for it in such a directionless
family?

A *what* called?

: You had no choice. It was my fault, not yours..."
Um, these last two sentence don't fit each other. Akane's
sentence would only make sense if Ukyou was blaming herself. But
Her speech seems to indicate that she already knows that it was
not her fault. If she was saying something like "I was so
*stupid* to throw those spatulas, simply assuming that you
wouldn't move." or something like that, the connection would be
more logical.
: But before she let herself fall asleep she mumbled

It is. A very moving, tearful reunion that is sure to strengthen
the bonds of friendship that have been growing between the cast.
I appreciate the role you gave Nabiki - I know how you despise
her.
