And that's cool! A lot of my objection to Storious is just never ever finding him interesting as a character (except for a couple minutes in the HBV), and that feeling becoming so ingrained at this point in the series that it's virtually impossible to change my mind. It's not ruining the show, but I'm always going to like the idea more than the performance.

Sorry? Maybe?

The short there was really about two things that were on my mind. The first is that Kento's depression is probably going to be a battle forever with him, and it's not a villain he's vanquished. There's something within him that is used to making decisions out of fear, and not trusting his friends to take care of themselves, and he's going to internally push back on that for the rest of his life.

The other thing is that GODDAMN IT you have to keep Luna under a goddamn lock and key or she's just going to vanish when your back is turned. Like, Princess Peach thinks this girl gets kidnapped too often.
