Yeah, Yoi has a weird way of coping; she falls back to her prince behavior. I wonder why. I think she’s trying to avoid feeling vulnerable. A new character is introduced, and probably a love triangle and a rivalry are incoming. Their feelings for each other are developing quite well—what a great moment to introduce a possible rival, isn’t it? Kohaku’s life seems really lonely; it seems like he avoids those who worry about him, something that doesn’t happen with Yoi, and they’re not subtle about it. The spark of color in his life is Yoi.
