Quite an interesting chapter. It's a bit surprising Shiki didn't kill Fujino, but I guess that shows Kokutou's influence on her. Whether it's because she thinks Kokotou would appreciate or because she's really evaluating her choices, who knows. We do know Shiki is a natural killer and actually wishes to have something to hunt so it would be easier to believe the former is true, even though she kept saying she wouldn't have liked to kill powerless Fujino (which is a somewhat empty thing to say because the next moment she could have her powers back again).

I thoroughly enjoy the anachronism and the way how they are occasionally seemingly offhandedly presenting things as if they were known, only to give a stylish explanation later if at all. I have never felt everything needs to be explained plainly in good stories for a more matured audience. A good script writer / director knows what needs to be explained and what not for the best overall effect.
