"I've judged you as unworthy to smile for". Ouch. Glad he knew to think instead of say that zinger!

So cane girl from class A has some connection with Ayanokoji's white room project. That's a natural way to ramp up the conflict with opponents closer to his 'level'.

I like that Kei, while falling for the scheme and becoming a 'tool', never stopped being her own character and isn't resentful of Ayanokoji's personality.

Looks like he is planning on getting rid of Kushida after all, which is a long time coming since she declared war on him. She also looks a little more haggard even in fake mode. The cracks are beginning to show. Looking forward to s3!
