Me too.. All that effort, and she gets screwed over in the end..
And I may be off, or spot on, but, wouldn't it be so ironic is Sou's sister is the lolita-dressed girl in the dream? There hair certainly matches, even though you can look completely different in the dream..
The more I read, the more I just wanna know! Like, about Sou's "burden" and how his sister plans for him to get Mashiro.. Cliffhangers kill me so much!
