Kyousuke attempts to represent Kirino as her brother, and Kuroneko follows up nicely in support.

There wasn't a whole lot of interaction between Kousaka siblings this episode, but the way that Kyousuke continues to go out on a limb for Kirino even without her knowing about it never ceases to amaze me. In fact, it's gotten to the point that Kuroneko even wishes she had an older brother like him, which goes to show that just about everyone's taken notice to his constant sacrifices for her.

The Shinsengumi casualties are piling up one after another as the Bakufu continues to fight a losing war against the New Government forces. It's admittedly a bit depressing at this point as the story approaches its inevitable conclusion, but I'm completely caught up in the depiction of their final hours both fictionally and non-fictionally.
