Comment: So everything in the trailer about Hitomi being finally caught by Toshi was a red herring: it all took part as part of Ai's play. Actually the play turned out to be the perfect dodge for the sisters since they reveal themselves to be Cat's Eye as part of the play, but since the play is a work of fiction
no-one will believe that they're the real Cat's Eye since they were part of the play...
Kinda taking a hint from Poe's The Purloined Letter and basically hiding their identity as Cat's Eye in public...
Also the ending with Toshi being Toshi and bumping into the wall.....

Comments: 1) Hikari is now my favorite character, mainly because for a vampire she's such a happy go lucky person!!!!
2) I wonder if Saki's Succubus powers were something that didn't develop until she hit puberty; also I wonder because they made it impossible to be around boys and men if she opted to go to an all girls high school and college where they would be negated because of being around other females all the time.
