im a TINY bit disappointed that the author didnt go the "everyone puts their hand on kyoukai as shes doing her thing and she feels everyones life force and their willingness to fight and die for shin allows lyoukai to use some of their life force to save shin so everyone only loses like 6 months of their life in order to save shin", rather then kyoukai losing who knows how much. But respect for the author for using kyoukai to save shin at the expense of her skills. Rabbit out of the hat for a 'avoided death' situation that wasnt needed but glad it had a cost to it.
