Ah, good, the voice worked, then. Man, Haru-chan gave me so much trouble with this one... It's his expression, though, really; all though the Rikkai matches, that distant, watching expression.

*laughing* Actually, my thought about Kirihara and calculus was the whole change-over-time aspect. If the younger generation has an ensign, I think it would have to be a delta.

I really think Niou is drawn to the irrational, the wild and messy, in a way that Yanagi isn't. For one thing, there are those constant anger-marks, with him. For another, well, there's Yagyuu, and even his profile calls him the fiercest and most aggressive on the team. My own theory is that Niou likes occupying the two extremes, rational and not, and feeling the tension between them. Yanagi is intuitive, but his match with Inui also shows that he has a weakness when it comes to handling strong emotions. *considers* I bet he still wins against Niou, though I couldn't immediately tell you why I think so.

*grins* This was a pain, but it was fun too.
