On character deaths, I really don't mind it as long as I do not suspect said character death as a kind of fulfillment of some technical storytelling requirements and it happens within logical bounds. Being a final arc doesn't automatically justify killing characters left and right, and so does character development. As we all know, it is not every time that character development must revolve on death. In fact, Kamachi is doing the complete opposite on Touma, and I assume the same can be said on Mikoto. To me, the worst thing Kamachi can do to somehow vindicate Mikoto is to kill her when she has to realize a lot of things throughout the series. (That may or may not include her feelings for the guy.)

Still, this "cliffhanger" of Mikoto being driven off the edge reminds me of Mugino in OT21... except that I prefer Mugino's because she has been crazy ever since OT15. Mikoto on the other hand...
