This might spoil aswell
Emiko kinda did come back in a way, when her sister ran of with that beatle thing and they met in, what I believe is, heaven
I always liked Emiko's colour and personality more (some of that is a given sure XD) and I had hoped there'd be something more. She was (maybe even still is) quite possibly my favourite in those regards.
If it's not obvious, blue is my favourite and her shade of blue more so. XD
It felt like such a loss.
