Have you seen that short where Marcille goes to an "ex-dungeon lord support group"?? It's so funny that it EXISTS at all but it ends with her being awkward because everyone there lost something great and she's sitting there like "uh... I lost the will to do my hair." But it's so sweet because her hair is styled in that short by someone who cares for her 🥺
I did!! If I recall correctly, I think Pattadol actually set it up because she wants to help former dungeon lords heal?? It's very sweet and also SO funny.
And kind of tragic. Marcille thinks she got off easy because she doesn't remember how much she used to love taking care of her hair. It was such a huge part of who she was as a person and now she doesn't even remember it well enough to grieve it. She says "oh well, I guess I'll cut it short" like she didn't spend years growing it and taking care of it. Like it wasn't a point of pride for her, like it wasn't something she really loved about herself.
Sure. It's not as bad as what happened to Mithrun and Thistle, who had their entire selves taken away. But the demon still took a fundamental part of her in an active attempt to make her more vulnerable, and she doesn't even think it was a big deal...

Mmmm...yeah sad to say I'm a little underwhelmed by Catty's doll. I feel like her release should have been a bit more...special? It's kinda lame to see a popstar in the same packaging as the regular dolls. I think it would have been really neat if she came with two outfits, a popstar/performing outfit, and casual clothes for when she's not performing. Even Toralei's doll came with a mic stand, Catty's should too.
And overall I expected her to look a bit more glamorous.

Mamizou's accusation of Sannyo's Chō-Han rolls
To be clear, Mamizou is not actually claiming Sannyo is cheating, this is because they are playing simple Chō-Han (Odds vs Evens), and since Sannyo sets the cup on the table before betting even starts. The game is completely fair.
to everyone else playing, they are experiencing a completely fair game of Chō-Han.
But for Mamizou.....
she is getting mocked for cheating against the Yamawaro in her earlier games of Cee-lo
But is it even physically possible for Sannyo to control fair dice shaken in a cup?
And we do know for a fact they are fair dice because she's playing Chō-Han in the traditional fashion, with her sleeve off, making it physically impossible for her to switch out the dice each round.
Well according to a site on dice play, it actually is possible
"even straight dice can be controlled with practice. Cheats develop techniques where the dice are placed in the cup and are then slid out of the horizontally held cup rather than rolled"
Except there are two problems.
Sannyo cannot be using this technique for two reasons. The first is because Mamizou tells us she shakes the cup, and the second is because every round she sets her cup straight onto the table completely flat.
so how is this possible?
There is one possibility given what we are shown.
So here's how she probably does it.
The first step Sannyo will need to take is to flourish the dice, allowing her to select her results, if she's as good as we might assume, she could toss them from the tips of her fingers as easily as from the side, so even showing people the dice won't matter. We know for a fact Sannyo does flourish the dice every single round.
The next thing Sannyo does is throw her dice into the cup and shake them around, just like Mamizou said when she made her accusation.
as long as Sannyo can hit them flat on the bottom, the dice can theoretically hold the result, next we need to assume she can hold them there even while holding the cup horizontal. To do this Sannyo will need to switch to spinning them along the sides with inertia immediately after they hit flat on the bottom. Then she needs to keep them rolling horizontal along the sides without turning the side with her result.
Note the absence of "Rattling". The only sound effects we are shown are solid "thumps", "Clacks" or "Slams".
Now those were the tricks required to let her even attempt to do this rolling horizontal and under the conditions of Chō-Han. Now we actually get to the part she should not actually be able to cheat.
Sannyo is going to need to stay on the result she's kept flat to the base of the cup and then get it to land flat against the table without bouncing and turning.
But what if we saw the first part of that trick?
Every round she smacks the cup and immediately lays it onto the table.
If she does this absolutely perfectly she can hit her result flat against the base, and then ride the inertia of turning it to lay it flat against the side corners of the cup and finally land the dice on the table. Then keep the edge of the cup as a support to prevent it from turning over while it bounces.
And that is how it can theoretically be done.
The amount of skill required to actually pull this nonsense off would boarder on impossible. If we weren't talking about Sannyo this would be inconceivable.
Sannyo is not just good. She's very, very good.
