-->This being was still human-shaped, still had the pale skin, brown eyes, and dead-white hair of the boy standing next to her[...]but he looked almost...stretched. Too tall and not wide enough, like a badly enlarged photo. His fingers were too long and too much like claws. His skin didn't seem to be quite opaque. If she looked hard, Tea could see the guttering shadows through the outline of his form.

*InsecureLoveInterest: Ryou doesn't feel worthy of Tea's affections, primarily because he cannot rid himself of the Spirit of the Ring' presence. Not only does he view himself as weak because of this, it also means that spending time with him puts Tea in danger.

*SuspiciouslyAproposMusic: When Tea teaches Ryou to dance, the two songs she plays are Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon," a classic love song, and "Bubbly" by Colbie Cailait, another song about recognizing romantic feelings. The scene is all about them discovering that JustFriends isn't going to work for them...

-->The trouble with being embodied was that it was so damn addicting. A paltry five years sharing some teenager's skinbag and he was already forgetting how to be spirit, how to be pure, undiluted essence. Physicality was a habit that was hard to break.
