Yeah, I really want to know more about that maid. Heck, from the way the plot has been structured, she seems important than Almaz.

I don't have any complaints either, but something bugs me about it. The scarf, hair, and bracelets point to Laharl, but at the same time there is something definitely off about the shadowy Laharl.

Oh I know why he looks so strange now! Laharl became a Heartless! *shot*
