Well, so much for Nona being on the run, as she is already captured. So that went in a different direction than I anticipated.
Miramira’s flashback was very well done. Initially she was different from Nona, as she would rather isolate herself. While her brother was more like Nona. Though he did seem more proactive than Nona. But the fucked-up thing in all this is that the two siblings were caught after their father’s death. No one reported him; simply how the father died was the reason why. The more fucked up thing is that they were detained because the illness made 1 out of every 20 people mages. Again, the point of the bureau has no grounds, as for them, you are guilty until proven innocent.
Interestingly enough, Miramira found a way to escape. Of course, inspired by her brother’s previous words, but also there is no reason to stay and hide. Of course the whole situation was fucked up when they found the note; Miramira left. Her brother sacrificing himself for her is no wonder Miramira is so depressed.
Of course, if the bureau couldn’t sink any lower, they can put the blame on various mages. They did it with Miramira’s brother and are now planning to do it with her. I had the feeling Nona did a fake-out, but great art by Hakuri and a great plan by Nona. Of course Nona has not given up yet searching for her mother because staying in prison does nothing but lose time. Though the question for Miramira is, does she have the will to continue?
