dangermousieYes, yes, dreadful pun. Btw, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crumpeteer, let me know if you want me to put these beneath a cut. I don't think so, because you seem to a spoiler lover, but if not so, I'll put stuff behind cut.
Kairi just got about a gazillion points in the boyfriend rankings (as if he needed any extra) because when Momo saw him with his ex and overheard something very problematic, he actually ran after her to explain. Yes. I love men with common sense.
I am also amused because they have been going out for a month, and she is already contemplating sex while it took poor Touji months to even get kissed. That scene where Kairi jokes about getting a hotel room and she slugs him and then tells him she wouldn't want something so tacky, she'd want it to be a really good memory and he nearly keels over in shock is priceless. And then he goes to all sorts of travel agencies to get various brochures. Eeeee.
And we finally meet the (in)famous Ryo, Kairi's elder brother. Who is definitely a male Sae and is now, very sneakily and cleverly, going after Momo and trying to break the couple up, just because Momo is so important to Kairi. Hello, he is your younger brother. What kind of a freak has an inferiority complex (or whatever the hell) about a kid sibling. You are a grown up. Get a life.
The scene where Momo and Ryo have coffee and he comes across as so solicitous yet there is slightly off is so Sae if only she was older and much more skilled. And then, of course, Momo tells Kairi about how nice she thinks his brother is, and you see poor Kairi tense up, because he's been there before. And he tells her that Ryo is a male Sae and his one thing is taking things others want, and he thought that is anyone would understand, she would. But the clever thing about Ryo is that based on their prior conversation, it's easy to see why Momo doesn't believe Kairi automatically. Momo is not being an idiot. Basically, Ryo is good. But Momo still should have remembered Sae and the fact that Kairi is very level-headed about relationships. And of course, the more it goes on, the more she should realize something is a bit out of whack. Kairi doesn't get unreasonable. Also, Ryo? That line about your dead girlfriend? Not only tacky, but won't work on anyone over 18. Ugh. The look on Ryo's face when he sees Kairi's face when Momo lets Ryo hug him is just...people who get their jollies off hurting others do NOT appeal. I am glad Sae seems to really dig Ryo, as they are totally kindred spirits and should hook up and play their mind games on each other. And Momo, if you keep it up, you'll alienate Kairi and he'll just get fed up. And trust me, as soon as Kairi loses interest, so will Ryo. So, gorgeous even though Ryo is, it's time to listen to Kairi and stay away.
When he saw Momo on the street and invited her into his car to talk about Kairi and thank her for the nice job she is doing with his brother who is so much more cheerful now etc etc, I was getting insane Veronica and Aaron Echolls discussing Logan in S1 vibes. Though I don't think Ryo has an extensive belt collection. Heh.
ETA: Hello, wannabe rapist. But, as Ryo didn't realize, the first time he put a move on Momo, the jig would be up, as she is, at her base, very level-headed and not flattered out of her senses. Of course, the scarier thing is that he doesn't care if she see through him. Fine, then he'll just take her by force. After all the result (taking something away from Kairi) will be the same. He totally makes Sae seem an amateur. No wonder Kairi can always outwit Sae. Seriously, Ryo freaks me the hell out. If I were Kairi, I'd invest in rat poison.
ETA 2: I love Momo. She beat the HELL out of Ryo and got away. Too bad it doesn't appear to have taught him a lesson.

she is already contemplating sex while it took poor Touji months to even get kissed
Because Touji isn't comfortable about stuff like that, while Kairi has been talking about sex jokingly since the day she met him, so obviously it's not going to be that weird for her to honestly address it with Kairi.
And it's anime tradition that someone has to have a really evil sibling or best friend or BOTH.

The salami principle :P
But of course, she is also very comfortable with Kairi, a lot more than she ever was with Touji. And she knows he won't suddenly be irrational.
The more I watch, the more I realize how much better Kairi and Momo are suited than Momo and Touji. Take the scene where Kairi leans in to kiss Momo and she stops him, telling him she kissed his brother (because Ryo forced the kiss) and "I bet it's gross to kiss someone who kissed your brother," Kairi just smiles at her and tells her "Let's disinfect you then" and leans in and kisses her. Ahhhh. Common sense is lovely. Touji would have flown into a months-long sulk or melodramatic flights.
ally evil sibling or best friend or BOTH.
Evil sibling you can't help, I guess. But friends? Anime people sometimes aren't too bright.
