School Days (Anime): Setsuna Kiyoura

Among the women that Makoto Itou had an affair with, these two, Kotonoha and Setsuna that I am most interested in. At first I wanted to make a post only with Setsuna Kiyoura but I think it would be too short, so why not make it a two analyses.

Setsuna Kiyoura is the best friend of Seika Saionji. She was always there for her as well as knows a lot about Seika Saionji. When her mother left for France and asked her to come, she was always there for Seika. Who else should be there for her? She knows the emotional mood swings of Seika, having her stay in her room without leaving or eating for days when she is awfully sad. She couldn't bear the idea of her leaving Seika.

But upon finding out the growing relationship between Makoto Itou and Seika Saionji, she felt relieved. Finally, there will be someone else to take care of her dear friend. Unfortunately, Kotonoha was still in the picture. She bear grudge towards Kotonoha because she's the one that causes her best friend heart aches.

On her last day with them, she asked Makoto Itou to be more sincere and be there for Seika, in place of her. But the fact that Kotonoha still lingers, as a collateral, Setsuna Kiyoura, had sex with Makoto Itou. She was in the first place, also in love with Makoto Itou, but for her best friend Seika, she gave up. But for the sake of Seika, she gave herself up to Makoto Itou.

Something's wrong with that, right? Or probably not.

She killed her prior feelings to Makoto for the sake of her best friend. She probably knows too well the sexual urges of Makoto as well as his infidelity and affairs, so for her best friend's sake, she gave herself to Makoto. She did it for her friend.

Or was it Makoto that initiated this? In the first place, when Setsuna went to Makoto's place, she only wanted to talk to him. But to some manner, he woke Setsuna's urges to love him back. It was really doomed from the start when Setsuna let her guard down. It was the first for the most of time, when Setsuna did such thing. The first was letting Makoto saw her cry, but that's a different thing. He took the chance when the ever respected and great self respect, Setsuna lowered her guard.

She did it for Seika. Everything she did, was for her best friend. But it was all in vain as Makoto continued his sex and infidelity.

I wonder what she was thinking after their sex. Did she do the right thing? It was for her, after all, right? Will Seika really be fine? She gave up herself for her friend, right? She used him as well, right? She wanted to feel him too, right? She love Makoto as well, so why should only be her best friend who could have sex with him? She was holding herself back, all the sake of her best friend, right? And only for her own to keep, a memory, she had sex with his best friends lover.

Was that right? Or am I wrong?

Setsuna is holier than thou type, right? It was for her best friend's sake. She gave herself up, so that Makoto wouldn't do any act of infidelity as well as things to hurt her friend Seika. But the end did not justify the means. Or did she think it does?

It went further than I expected, I'll make another post for Kotonoha Katsura.

I think Setsuna is that trying hard type as well. :) I kinda like her and I feel sad how she left and had to betray her friend just for that same friend's sake. She contradicted herself, but in her mind, she did an awfully good thing. But it was just too awful to be good.
