Ugh, damn it was all going so well and according to my dream until the very end!!! My prediction is that Kakeru will somehow extricate himself from Liselotte and take the fragments with him (conveniently undoing all those poignant and meaningful deaths). Then the team will whip Liselotte's ass into next week with their combined powers and her lack of them.

Oh well, at least Kusakabe got hers, even if the guy was thinking about another girl the whole time it doesn't really matter as long as he kept his mouth shut about it during the act. I was kind of hoping that after it was over she'd let slip that there was no magic ritual and she just wanted to have him before she died.
