Not Miyuki's performance of the crying imouto.įrom Tatsuya's perspective, I suspect that Tatsuya does not want freedom from Miyuki, and does not believe that the world would accept Tatsuya being free, because of what Tatsuya could potentially do with that said freedom. Miyuki attributed her ability to rein Tatsuya back to her tears - I don't think she quite realized that it was the phrasing of her preference, into a near command (Onii-Sama's only concern is me. Setting this with Volume 14, I suspect Miyuki still doesn't fully realize that Tatsuya will sub-ordinate himself to Miyuki unconditionally, even without the play of siblinghood taken to warped extreme that Miyuki thinks is the best way she can keep Tatsuya's loyalties, after a childhood of inadvertently treating Tatsuya as disposable wallpaper. For the sake of controlling that sword, Miyuki convinces her ownself to take on the earnest mask of the 'devoted sister', and forces herself to believe in the truth of that mask, as Honami trained Miyuki to do. The way I see it, after Reminiscence, Miyuki saw Tatsuya not as a disposable shield, but a very, very dangerous flaming sword technically in her hands, but with a will of his own. Miyuki wears many masks, and the monologues come closest to who Miyuki is under all those mask, many of which she forces herself to 'sincerely' believe. And Volume 13 and 14 (especially in Chapter 1 of volume 14, when Miyuki wonders how much control she really has over Tatsuya) simply demonstrates that the trust issue still exist on several levels, and manifest themselves in slightly different ways.Īnother interesting thought about the Reminiscence arc - I think that Miyuki's relation with Tatsuya is just another one of those deliberate artificial emotional manipulations that Miyuki inflicts on herself. I think that the serious trust issues Miyuki had about Tatsuya in the Reminiscence arc still exist under all those profuse Onii-Samas and Bro-con teasing.

Just read the Reminiscence arc manga adaptation up to Chapter 8.
