Referbacks

 * One of Mikoto's Gekota hairpins was knocked off while she and Kessai were traversing the blade wires, with Kessai nearly falling victim to the wires in trying to catch it. Kessai got one of the two hairpins for Mikoto as a present earlier in the year, and though Mikoto had already got the one of the same kind, she ended up wearing both of them together. It isn't known whether the one which was knocked off was the one which Kessai got her or not.
