There have sincerely been times in the last couple three episodes where I've thought Mutsuki is probably living his best life. He was always so tortured when he was Tachibana's apprentice, sometimes in spite of Tachibana's tutelage, and sometimes because of it. Now, he's got a cool nightclub and a regrettable hat and a slick new spider earring... He just seems happier to me, in a way that's hard to root against. Who am I to tell this kid he'd be better off following Tachibana's example? I don't know if I'd ever want to have my soul consigned to darkness by a Spider monster from eternity, but, y'know, I don't know Mutsuki's truth. We all make choices to get through the day, and I don't get to make Mutsuki's choices.
