Ahaha~ The spoiler code is [spoiler][spoiler]
Midou was seen with Tenjin and Jasmine in the Middle East. They were in a group of child summoners. Luis shot most of them accidentally. Midou is seen right at the end of Terra, looking up at the sky with three other people… Tenma, Tenjin, and Jasmine.
I believe the reason for this is that the events of the Earth Dragon fight are hard to explain in words. If this was an anime or a manga it’d be great… but VN-wise it’s a strange plot point. No doubt, the battle was a long struggle, and involved a lot of stuff, mainly the crazy rewrite chain… but it’s hard to get it across without assuming the reader imagines everything playing out as if it was an anime~
The reason for the abrupt ending of the battle is that it is rushed. It has to be due to the plot. Unfortunately, Kotarou is STILL too slow. IIRC The Song of Destruction was too far in to be stopped, the only thing that could end the destruction was the removal of the Key’s existence… Hence, Kotarou had to kill her. He didn’t want to just destroy everything he worked for, so instead he used his rewrite ability to become a tree that surrounded and protected a blue light representing Kagari (as seen in the title screen!) Kagari’s soul and the Kotarou tree stayed together until the day Kotarou was summoned… Rewrite was written with the idea that Kagari is never going to be understood… That idea makes for awkward writing ^^;
It was briefly mentioned by Kotori, that the familiar was just an image of her selfishness. She wanted the familiar to look a certain way, so he did. Akane rolled with it and decided to ignore the resemblance to Kotarou. Ironically, it actually is Kotarou~ ^^’ This of course explains the question about the uniform too~
Not too sure about this… but when the Moon Kagari created the Terra timeline, she altered a few things in the history of other characters. One of these was that Lucia was never experimented on. I believe that due to the Terra timeline being based solely around Kotarou, the memories from all the other routes were used. At the end of Lucia’s route, Kotarou decided to use the name Lucia instead of Haruka~ This might be why.
In the Terra route, Sakura gets slapped in the face by her own intelligence. Sakura realized the truth of the world (love- as seen in the Moon route.) This revelation screws up the Holy Woman curse, and so Akane (and probably Shimako) get to live normal lives~
