I love the music in this episode. So beautiful. And with the moonlight it was amazingly touching.

Yin is one obvious example that Contractors and Dolls are changing. At the end of episode 6, Yin caught Hei's arm, but he frowned and pushed her. Hei was very emotional in this episode and so was Yin. She shouldn't care about how he felt after loosing one of the people who knew what happened to his sister, but she tried to show a compassion. In this episode, she gives us a huge proof about the Dolls' progress. Also, we all know how she changes in next episodes.

The efforts that Elis's puts to help Yin are impressing. He must to truly loved her mother and this way he feels like she's his kid or something. Sort of.

I have a question. Is Yin actually blind or she can see only shades? Because I don't think she's blind in season 2.

Sometimes I think that Yin is able to develop her personality again because of Hei. Since he doesn't fit into the norm. Otherwise, she's surrounded by people who abandon their emotions in order to get the work done, so they wouldn't behave in a way that might stimulate her feelings. They treat her like she's inhuman and incapable of connecting with them. But because Hei's emotions tend to leak out, whether he wants them to or not, I think that might arouse her human feelings.

Yes, Eelis' devotion is beautiful. He obviously didn't have to spend his life hunting her down but he chose to anyway.

Is there a reason why you don't think that she's blind in season 2?
I think most blind people see/detect SOMETHING - you know, like it's not pitch black or a blank screen. But with Yin - I get the feeling that she is still blind, that her transformation into a doll/her programming didn't change that, but that she can see using her surveillance specters of course. It's a tricky subject that the show doesn't really address, so...

If she can see with her specter that explains everything. I support Haruko's theory for season two. She said that because Yin is Izanami she can see. That makes sense.

You're right. The only think I don't like for the show is that it never explains in details. We know that Amber had some feelings for Hei in South America and even after it, but we don't know if they were a couple and if Hei had feelings for her as well. We don't know what Hei feels for Misaki, what happened to Yin in season two's final and some other things I can't think of right now. I'm not saying that I'm disappointed, because I'm not, but it'd have been nice if we had more details.

Being legally blind, many can still see forms, light/dark and even shades of color...it depends on the form & degree of blindness. my mother-in-law lives with/assists a middle-aged blind woman. She has and uses her iphone. (with big/bold letters and numbers.

Sorry I'm late in the game.
I have LOTS of notes to post...gonna go do that now.

She is blind, but she can see with her spectre. Also, who knows when she was Yin or Izanami. Izanami could see.

It makes sense. I've never liked season two.
