...none of which suggests Keiichi to me....unless you take into account his reunions with Kamui in #12 & #14.

Ah, but is that really Keiichi, or Kamui's impression of Keiichi? Kei-chan talks about crying at his mother's funeral, but because Kamui only sees him smiling it comes across as Keiichi being unreasonably cheerful in this circumstance. Also (because Kamui tends to aaaaannnnnggggggsssssttttttttt about everything) seeing someone who uses a totally opposite attitude in dealing with hard times would also seem to suggest unreasonable happiness - in other words, Keiichi does not show Kamui his pain and so Kamui/we the audience do not see his pain.
Blah blah blah. ^___^

Kusanagi was always an ambivilant character, but I still think ultimately hopeful.

Absolutely - this is CLAMP and they admit to doing stuff "just 'cause it looks cool".

Oh, nice! That is perfectly Yuuto! Thinking of it that way, he's pretty much worse than Satsuki could ever be.

It's kind of a cool card, though, and good to see the Magami sisters together...
