Dude. This HAS to be something that happens now. Remillia arrives in Diqui, and Utena and Korra have absolutely RESOLVED that they're doing this RIGHT, DAMMIT. And that means hitting up The Ming Daughters of Republic City, followed by a night of romance and mayhem.

(The mayhem can simply be because someone recognizes Meiling for what she is and for whatever reason goes waaaaayyyyyy over the top with it.)

Alternatively, she could be going all Richard B. Ridick when preparing to plunge into the never ending night... "I need light on my back, not in my eyes..."

*Parla più piano INTENSIFIES!*

(Seriously, don't ever let Lucchini hear Gryphon singing that. Remilia will never get him back afterwards.)

(EDIT: On the other hand, Gryphon could come back with some phonographs from home, one of which has this version of of the song, and Flandre and Francesca both spend girl time together just swooning to it.)

Unrelated - something that got a good laugh out of me. While trying to track down an "Authentic" version of this song (ironically, it seems the lyrics were originally in English, and even then only added on after the song was made for The Godfather), one Youtube video had the following comment:

"I set this song as my alarm...
