So this came down to a matter pragmatism versus sentiment. Horikita wanted to leave no one behind, but was finally forced to accept that that just isn't realistic given their resources and situation. All of the classes had to navigate this, but class C has for the longest, presumably, kept anyone from being expelled.

Speaking of other classes, the movers of B and D combining forces, so to speak, to avoid their respective crises was entertaining (Ryuuen is an interesting enough character to keep around for a while longer).

Ayanokoji is less and less able to keep to the shadows now.
