Ok, so Azul is still broken. Good to know. I'm going to treat her recent attempts at self-improvement as a desire to please her mistress rather than a genuine interest in overcoming her weaknesses. I'm just waiting for her to choose ropes or chains or handcuffs or something similar as her weapon.
Congratulations, girls, now you've flipped Utena's switch. You have no idea what you've unleashed upon yourselves.
@Reimans: All I could think of by the end of this chapter was a quote from a novel I've read where the heroes face someone with exactly this same power. "And with all of us shining light from all directions around you,
even you don't have a shadow here!"
...It sounds cooler in context.
