Because Shizuku has to be genuinely intimidating in several scenes, and Shizuka Itou is a trace too sweet and kind (also, her voice is traditionally recognized as "kind heroine of justice", while Shizuku needs to remain a wildcard for quite a while). So, I can understand your reaction after all. The remaining difference between us that since I have full confidence in her by now, I can enjoy her devious and manipulative side much more. Fact is that the way Natsuru is so hardwired, she NEEDS these extremes to stay in the race. And this is going into a territory which is almost never touched by characters. PS: Even without her looks, riches and power - people like her are awesome to date *grins* ... never a boring minute.

Maybe it's a Limited To Shizuka Itou thing. But I do like how she can take as well as she gives.

Harsh Zyl! (No problem at all about the schadenfreude, by the way. Who dishes it out like her needs to be able to take it aswell. Thankfully, she manages ;) Well then, on to episode 9. Here, the show takes the critical pivot to the end run, which may make you reevaluate several things in a different light. And, of course, with a big bang from Shizuku in the end *grin* Hard to shake indeed :) … even after her self-confession in episode 7 (“Am I… feeling jealous?”) and these loads of things in ep8 which we know from the omniscient viewer perspective, you’re still harboring residual doubts about her sincerity?
