This becomes a plot point when Kanade spikes Iroha's coffee with sleeping pills to ensure that she wouldn't have an alibi for Setsuka's murder, but Sora notices that Iroha wasn't drinking her coffee and takes it for herself. This leads to Iroha being seen drawing by Mikado, and thus having an alibi for Setsuka's murder. This also leads to Sora deducing that someone was trying to frame Iroha, upon realizing that she got drugged by drinking Iroha's coffee. Also hates spicy food, by [[WordOfGod Word Of God]].

People make this assumption a lot, but believe or not, there’s no proof that Kanade ever had any incestuous love for her sister. Her “attachment” to her sister is most likely more about her narcissism and sadism, as she cares more about torturing and using Hibiki as a pet rather than any actual infatuation with her. Unlike Korekiyo, who is specifically stated to have a romantic and sexual relationship with his sister.
