While little has still been revealed about the Orphans, how Nagi fits into the picture, or the nature of the Headmistress's disposition, this volume does see at least some plot development. A bit more comes out about the nature of the HiME, the role of District 1 in the whole HiME arrangement is clarified some, and it's revealed that there may be another force out there opposing the HiME; one of the characters has an ugly secret about her true nature which implies that someone else is involved, too. And what is the connection between that individual and the “Golden Angel” Alyssa Searrs, the only completely new character introduced in this volume? It's still too early to tell where this is all going, but the end of episode 8 definitely gives the impression that the series may be headed into darker and more serious territory than it's shown so far. The action quotient is lower in this volume than the previous one, but that seems to be just a temporary lull required by the storytelling focus in this volume.
