Esther claims to be sort of a classmate of his and wanted his help with something, but is stopped short by him from revealing too much. Last Order gets upset and throws the three take out meals she brought at his face.

* NotSoStoic: An interesting case of this. If you pay close attention to the way she talks/acts, you'll find that she's actually pretty quirky and can get rather emotional at times (such as [[DisproportionateRetribution hunting down Last Order with a rifle]] for [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous taking her goggles]]). It's just that she always uses the same tone of voice and facial expression, like when chasing down Last Order with a rifle for [[FelonyMisdemeanor taking her goggles]].

* YouAreNumberSix: The Sisters' "names" are simply numbers that signify their order of "activation" (i.e. when each clone was finally released from UterineReplicator incubation). Even after the horrendous Level 6 Shift Project experiments are finally stopped and they become relatively free to do whatever they want (so long as they stay out of trouble), they still stick with the numerals rather than adopt actual names; that being said, the most recurring and prominently featured Sister, Misaka 10032, is quickly nicknamed "Misaka Imouto" (literally "Misaka's Little Sister") by the protagonist Touma (since he rarely meets any other Sister), whether it's because her numeral is a big mouthful or he dislikes the dehumanizing nature of such "names".

* SiblingTeam: The Sisters are an army of identical clones, which makes them basically twin sisters to each other.
