character

Yae Miko understands Ei, but that does not mean she always agrees with her

Their relationship is stronger when it is not reduced to loyal familiar and distant ruler. Yae Miko preserves continuity with Ei's past, challenges isolation and understands the emotional logic behind decisions she may still consider harmful. Humor is part of how she keeps control of difficult conversations. Which scene best demonstrates that balance between affection and opposition? I am especially interested in moments where Yae says something playful that is actually a serious judgment about eternity or withdrawal.
