I'm not sure where this is heading. Really, I appreciate the action and the suspense, and I can see where the Ren-Kuon-Conflict is going, but the Kyoko-Part makes me worry. She either is drawn back into her hateful side here (or as some here dubbed it "Dark!Kyoko") or she uses Setsu as her own mask, or maybere there is some Natsu in there, too (the smile kind of reminded me of her, though that might also be wishful thinking). But whatever it is she's pulling there and as much as I'd love them to progress, it's always two steps forward one step back with them. If Kyoko starts to hide behind her roles and masks with Ren again, there is no progress in this. I always deemed it an advantage of Ren that he could see through her and she could see through him to some extend as well. If she is scared here and hides from him I honestly cannot see much benefit in this scene, however amusing it is. And Ren will be most likely scared by this scene as well. He is trying to overcome Kuon as Cain Heel, not to channel him. He looses controll because of Kyoko, and if I'm not completly off, he will try to get the hell over with the sibling-act and flee from her to sort out his problems afore 'putting her in danger', since he is in no position to love or feel for someone. And Kyoko will be as much disturbed, I'd guess. Somehow I'm not all that eager to see what'll happen now. Maybe I'm a negative person, but I think this sceene is doomed.
