Small wonder where it is that Sei got his political prowess from. She may be despicable, but her intuition and willpower are really strong. I do like that about her.
Look at that parallel yet again. First Shin failed to save Seikyou at Tonryuu, now it's Kyou Kai who failed to save Ten from Junsou - and it's as @pdonk said, this being new, but the second time they've argued this fiercely since Kyou Kai's assassination attempt on Sei. Interesting.
Rui's really strong. I like that she cried, but still continued to walk forward. Such a good character. 😭
(On another note, this may be too early to say, but aside from Seikyou, I think Ouhon would be a good match for her.)
Knew it. He may have been an asshole, but he's grown wiser since then. After all, he wouldn't assist Sei at court or in the coalition arc if he hadn't realised how wrong he was at first. I'm normally annoyed when people die in a redemption arc, but this one's all right. 😭😭😭😭😭
So for Shin, it's called having that "weight" of carrying the wishes and memories of the people you've met. For Kyou Kai, it's that "light" that will enable her to return from the Hakuryou. Interesting.
