[Summary: “The Memory of Betrayal is that of an Amber Smile (Part 2)”]
“Why do you, a Contractor, serve the humans?”

Due to the terrorist attacks, the city is thrown into chaos. November 11 is taken hostage and Yin is with the mysterious ‘Amber’ and we are introduced to the “Evening Primrose.” But who are they, exactly? We’re not quite sure.

Hei gets a letter from Amber and in a fit of rage, he runs off after her. We finally see Misaki after a long, long time (or it just FEELS like it’s been a long time) and she ends up teaming with July to find November and save him.

There was a reason the Evening Primrose kidnapped November, but he is not interested in their offer. That offer is extended to Hei, but will he take it? Is his desire worth that bit of humanity and belief that he still holds onto?

[The Kuroneko’s Thoughts]
Even though Contractors are known to be heartless, ruthless, with no sense of feeling or emotions, we can see that it is not the case. They share a sense of friendship, of love; they feel betrayal, sadness, and loneliness. The various relationships created by these Contractors are both simple and complicated…and continues on in eternal circles.

This is where everything comes together and gets interesting!

Update #2

October 14, 2007 at 10:52 pm (News/Misc.)

Sorry, everyone! I haven’t had time to catch up on Darker Than BLACK at all for the past month. Actually, I haven’t caught up on any of my anime lately. :( I’ll definitely try to update as soon as I can, but this time, I won’t promise anything. If anyone wants to take some workload off my back, I’ll love you so much! haha! The latest this site will be updated will be Thanksgiving week since everyone will be gone and I probably won’t have any homework/papers due after. Hopefully my workload dies down a little so that I can write some more reviews and catch up. Sorry again :(
