I don't mean she was beautiful in a super-model kind of way, like Julie.
I couldn't see too much of her now anyway; the way I came in her back was
towards me, like she hadn't noticed me open the door, though she must have,
what with me yelling like that. She was..._terrifying_, like a thunderstorm

It was really naive of me, I guess. The Rose Bride is supposed to do
anything her master wants her to do, and after Saionji cornered me in the
supply room during the curry thing I should have known that before I showed
up he and Anthy did more than exchange diaries.
EEEEEh. Nope nope nope. Don't like it. That makes him seem worse
than he is. If anything, the diary makes it clear that his mentality is too
juvenile to do anything like that.
