Don't forget what Ryuko's father said: "If you wish to live a peaceful life, just get up and walk away. But if you're going to fight in my place, you're going to need that. *hands her the scissor blade* If you take that scissor, you're sure to find the person who killed me. But a cruel fate lies in store for you..." When I rewatch KLK and apply what he said to every scene following that in every episode after, you'll learn to view things with a different lens as it kind of opens up a lot about the world and the purpose of events that happen onwards. Great reaction btw :)
