In any case, Tsukishima (sp? Lala Gonzales clone) can certainly explain it all away, since she knows exactly the type of person that Sora is. However, she seems to like to interfere in this secretly, which really isn't helping.

The series has usually defied a number of cliches and conventions thus far, so I've got hugh hopes for a refreshing outcome.

Come to think of it, while I consider her first appearance a fusion with Hibiki, they haven't really done a tried and true fusion of Hibiki and Zero, as Fujino and Mikiri both got. Maybe this will be a catalyst, and Sora will get her wish, to witness "black." She will certainly regret it.
