Durarara 9 - Madly in Love

Namie Yagiri has always been a "caring" sister toward her brother Seiji. That day she lost contact with Seiji for half a day when Mika purposely dropped Seiji's phone into a fountain. Namie immediately went to Izaya's place to seek his assistance to find Seiji. Along the way, we were introduced with her past, how they were often left alone in their uncle's place, that Celty's head was there since the beginning and how she would later regret showing Seiji the head because there is no doubt that Seiji had taken an extreme liking to the head.

Anyway back to present days. Maki was informed that they were being chased and took Seiji's hand to run, but in doing so, they attract Shizuo and Celty's attention who happened to sit nearby. Celty immediately recognize her head and went to chase Maki. Shizuo then tried to calm the nervous Maki but he was stabbed at his hip with a pen by Seiji, though he showed no sign of pain. Shizuo remained there to deal with Seiji, while Celty went to chase the escaping Maki. On her way, Maki stumbled with Mikado who then took her hand and ran. Celty tried to chase both of them but was blocked by another group of students. Disappointed, Celty went back to Shinra's, telling loads of things on her mind to him, like why there's a body attached to her head in the first place. Mika meanwhile was taking shelter at Mikado's place.

comments: Mikado found himself in a pretty interesting situation there. Confronted by Celty and Namie's men, and on top of that is Orihara Izaya, I wonder how would he respond to that. So "that" was the thing that Mika saw when barge into Seiji's room earlier in the novel, at first I couldn't really figure that out until it was told that Seiji is in love with Celty's head. Mika's current behaviour sure was vastly different than her stalker self seen early in the novel. Changing from one absolutely persistent stalker to a timid girl, I wonder how much did Celty's head affected that change. Celty finally found her head, anyway for some reason I find her stuttered speech when she tried to talk to Shinra rather charming :3

on a side note, overprotective sister is scary. Come on, lost contact for less than half a day and she's worried sick? Well not to mention the degree of both Namie and Seiji's love was frightening that nothing could divert their love. One thing for sure, both Namie and Mika truly love Seiji.. And that Shizuo, just how tough is he. Stabbed at both hips and palm yet not even finch. Wtf with treating the wound with superglue LOL
