    Yuu's voice was damn cute. Ayumu was right all along thinking she must have a really cute voice.

    Also, just when I thought this series couldn't get any weirder, they bring out:

    That was the whole point of this episode. Yuu, having the power to control death, cherishes life immensely. That's why she saves people in the first place, heals them by taking on the pain of their injuries, and makes herself suffer to prevent others from getting hurt in the first place. It was the absolute last thing she wanted to do, and the only thing that he wanted her to do.

    I don't know if you can bring the whole living-will issue into it, because they're not really the same thing.

    But weird all the same. I would actually like to see that ensemble in the whole swallow-tailed Meistro look, but Sera's rack would prolly never fit.

    edit: I take that back, maids are f-ing cute!

    The new spin on "It's not a kick?!" got a bit of chuckle out of me. On the other hand, Yuu talking now confused me. I was under the assumption the entire time that she couldn't control the effects of her speech - not just that whatever she says may become the truth (to give an example, words she may mutter may be some some godly spell that does something in another language). If the issue was to watch what you say, rather than the above case, it makes it difficult but not entirely impossible.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    The issue is that Yuu's magic is so incredibly powerful, every action she does can leech out magic. Her mere existence draws megalo to her, her death doesn't mean her magic stops, and so on.

    It's just that her words are equally powerful. She rebuked Haruka earlier when she was telling Ayumu to die because as we saw later, when Yuu says such weighty words, they actually do that. Not speaking also helps her keep her emotions in check, which stabilizes her power (same as the armor does). Her getting emotionally upset is more of an issue than anything. That doll transformed and nearly crushed Haruka just because Yuu got upset about the thought of her friends being threatened.

    It's not Yuu's words that have power, everything about Yuu has power. In this episode, Ayumu told her it didn't matter, that he didn't care she brings trouble (nor do Haruka and Sera care), they'd just deal with it as it comes. Yuu cares a great deal about others, and doesn't want to trouble them, so she goes through all these steps to dampen and control her power.

    Ayumu being so accepting of her is what made Yuu happy enough, relieved, and comfortable enough to relax and speak.
