Youmu:

But Parser don't get mad, everybody makes mistakes.

And is it Konpaku or Kanpaku ?

I had written a dialogue comparing Youmu and Yuyuko's relationship with Sakuya and Remilia's, but i guess i will wait till more details.

Miko:
>What do we know about Seiga's relationship with Yoshika ?

>Miko: It is complicated, perhaps moreso than you thought. On one hand, she clearly regards Yoshika as a tool, given how she use the jiang-shi. On the other hand, she also fusses over Yoshika a fair amount, to your understanding. Someone has to keep her from decaying, at least.
