As I said before, Clarice is a fantastic main character. She has avoided so far all the usual pitfalls romance leads fall into and moving the story at a very enjoyable pace while at the same time growing organically as character. Violet on the other hand, still confuses me, she was introduced as you typical corrupt business owner but the more we see of her and her relationship with Shion, the more human and vulnerable she becomes, right now it seems she and Shion will be the begruding allies rather than the rivals.
Shion is a nice foil to Frost but she seems a bit shallow at the moment and is great to see more of Frost's mental state and how utterly terrified she is of letting someone close to her, ironically, she wasn't wrong, Clarice did have ulterior motives to marry her so I fully expect this little secret to come back and bit Clarice's in the ass down the line.
Lastly, for some reason, I assumed the little girl in Frost's flashback was Shion, implying she is the reason Shion is missing an eye.
