synopsis, the revised edition
hey let's try to do this in a semi-organized manner!
prior to the story
→ Kaori is a popular girl (middleschool third-year?) with shallow friends; not totally happy, but whatever.
→ Mio is a sweet girl, but poor, and new, without many friends at all.
→ Mio and Kaori accidentally make friends.
→ Mio is targeted by Kaori's 'friends,' and Kaori looks away at first.
→ Kaori eventually realizes that she's wrong, and comes to Mio's defense.
→ BAM. love, loyalty, honesty. the Guardian of Heart awakens.
story's start
→ Kaori is a highschool second-year, Mio is a highschool first-year. still BFFs!
→ the pressure of her duties and obligations is starting to weigh on Kaori.
→ enter Shun, newly transferred from Osaka.
→ both Kaori and Mio try to befriend him, one with more luck than the other.
→ Shun's attitude compounds Kaori's problems, beginning the slide into evil.
→ noticing Kaori's change in attitude, he stalks her and discovers that she's doing wicked things at night.
→ Shun takes her on, gets hospitalized. neither Kaori nor Mio are aware of the evil.
→ Kaori, Mio, Takumi and Jun band together for strength while waiting for Shun to wake up.
→ Mio helps keep everyone hopeful and raise their spirits.
→ BAM. faith, hope, spirit. the Guardian of Soul awakens.
→ Jun and Takumi are with Shun when he wakes up; Jun presses him until he explains.
→ Jun takes off to hunt down Kaori and beats her senseless, also revealing what happened.
→ Kaori is horrified, runs away, and resolves to make it right, thereby freeing her heart from evil.
→ Jun seeks her out again after her extended absence (unrelated) and fights her, but Kaori won't fight back.
→ Kaori transforms, and still refuses to fight back.
→ Kaori ultimately winds up at Jun's mercy; Jun realizes that Kaori isn't evil, and spares her.
→ BAM. willpower, courage, justice. the Guardian of Mind awakens.
→ and with that, our ensemble cast is complete, and the real shenanigans can begin.
