Analyse this. - Random Kouyuu babble.

I was reading one of the part translations of volume 14, and it was interesting to see Ryuuki thinking about how problematic it ended up being that Shuuei and Kouyuu came from privileged backgrounds. One of the downsides about volume 13 (as amazing as it was) was that everything pretty much happened in Kouyuu’s head. I’m really hoping that there is a big reveal of some kind eventually, because both You Shuu and Ryuuki especially are very wary at the moment about the sort of background Kouyuu simply doesn’t come from. I think for Kouyuu to move on as well, he needs to actually work through all the issues he finally admitted to in volume 13. I think he took huge steps in that novel, but his beliefs didn’t just affect his relationship with Reishin but with everyone else as well. Hell, those beliefs shaped his entire role in life. That’s why I’m dying for him to talk to any of the other characters about his past, because it would show he’s growing to believe in their trust and affection.

The terrible thing is that this month’s challenge over at the Saiunkoku challenge community is ‘revelations’. I’m hoping someone else writes it so I don’t have to. No time! I have no time!
