#nijianime Karin smiling to herself as she watches Setsuna's performance

#nijianime Mostly I think Karin is happy for the club and emma now that they're back together BUT ALSO maybe she's happy for Setsuna for coming back into the idol club, doing what she loves and expressing herself openly

#nijianime I like Karin's mysterious, solves problems miraculously type presence in just the first few eps so far

#nijianime so for the karin episode? I'm not gonna hope too much since p much Yu is the central support character but what if Karin comments on this performance of setsuna's in the future as an inspiration to be an idol too??

#nijianime kind of like in the game where one of her main motivations to be a kickass school idol is because she wants to beat setsuna because setsuna is at a different level

#nijianime I'm coming back to this thread lol. Karin being happy that Setsuna is expressing herself openly makes sense too because she can relate to Setsuna concealing her feelings and wants. She knows what it feels like to be stifled.
