Gotta admit, I'm a little confused with how everything ties together, but with a little scraping through the oneshot and chapters of old I'll probably figure it out. The thing about Kobayashi possibly putting her humanity on the line (in another situation) is intriguing, especially with the title of this chapter -- Takiya and community. Whenever Kobayashi's risking her life, it's for Tohru and/or Kanna and/or Ilulu, her close friends, family, wife. Takiya put himself on the line for all of the community, even when some members of that community (COUGHHH TOHRU) have a vibrant distaste for him.. Takiya and Kobayashi are both really pure-hearted people, huh?
