Also, was that bath towel scene involving Konoha proof that the full pactio procedure involves going all the way? Not like it was in question, but is that finally solid proof?
It's more likely what Setsuna thinks a permanent paction involves, while inside her delusions. We have all seen her Cosmo Entelecheia, so that much is to be expected XD
That is, unless Setsuna is actually aware of what a full Pactio requires, of course.

Also the title of this chapter mentioned marriage, yet I did not see one bit of marriage in this chapter. What gives.
Some people in other forums believe that is what Eva meant with the sacrifice: A (future?) marriage between Negi and Asuna. I personally think it's related to the "now I can't get married" line said in manga after being seen naked, so if Setsuna's fantasies were real, then she'd have to "take responsibility" and marry Konoka.
Anyway, aside from those assumptions, I have yet to find a person who definitely knows what does the title mean.
