Woot! I'm sure we all expected Fritz to make the choice he did, but I appreciate the bride's dress, definitely. I was thinking myself neither one really fit, but I sort of thought she'd go for the uniform anyway, and I'm glad she didn't.

I know I've spoken before about this being the sobering moment for Lucchini, and I'm very glad to see it begin to pan out this way. It was definitely time.

Shirley asking about marriage is something I was surprised by, though. I honestly have no notion who she's got in mind. If anyone, yet.

And now the word about Neuroi-chan is...well, not getting around, so to speak, but getting to the point where hopefully some real progress can be made in finding out just what the Neuroi -are- and what is going through their minds. (And, no, I have no idea what canon says so far about it. And I largely don't care. This is precisely the kind of issue where fanon is often better than canon, and Eyrie hasn't disappointed me on that front yet.)
