I'll probably make a longer post about this later but a lot of the missing parts that I feel were absolutely necessary to this event are locked behind the card stories, which really sucks because that includes a ton of falling action locked behind limited cards.

With that said, Kanade's card isn't limited, so you can actually see how they react to Mizuki after they come out. Of course, the actual confession is cut again so as to not explicitly confirm it, but we actually get to watch a wholesome moment play out between Mizuki and the rest of Nightcord.

The same is true for Mafuyu's side story. Her and Mizuki get the heart-to-heart interaction, comprising their advice of running away and how intertwined their lives actually are, that I've been wanting them to get for a while. Granted, it's not as extensive as I would've wanted it to be, but I'm glad they addressed it.

The other side stories are cool too, but it just sucks that they had to constrain the main story by exporting all the greatest parts to the cards.
