The wonders never cease:

I had forgotten to give Coco and Nuts a song despite already being in my wonderful characters hall of fame.  That was corrected by giving Coco Theme 10 and Nuts Title Theme from Warlords 3, both suitably regal songs.

While I was at it I added three more Octopath characters:  the two merchants, Tressa and Partitio, as well as the priest Ophilia.  Tressa and Partitio are both lively and good-hearted folks who understand honor and business go hand in hand.  Ophilia is a beautiful girl who takes her faith seriously and is constantly inspired by it to help others.  Usually she not only solves the matter at hand, but also teaches people how to solve future similar issues themselves.  She's a true priest who even sermonizes well.

Tressa got Grandport, City of Commerce (obviously.)  And Partitio got home of business (for obvious reasons.)  Since these songs were previously owned by Matrim and Siegfried, I gave Matrim 'Wanderer's Path' because he's quite the wanderer, and Siegfried 'Hometown Domina' because Siegfried conversely is very fixated on the welfare of his home town, the lowest level district in Aiyoku no Eustia.

Ophilia got her home town's theme, 'Town Veiled in White.'

This gets me down to 111 unused songs.  There aren't 111 great characters conveniently still laying about though, so I'll have to consume new great art to make any more progress.

I finished Kurumi's route and am completely satisfied with it.  She comes across as a great girl who lives to have fun, but not at the expense of others.  She actually enriches the people around her by making their lives fun too.  Out of a sense of duty I'll play the rest of Tenshi Souzou Reboot, but sadly I do think all the worthwhile content is already behind me.  It's already a great visual novel with the stuff I've read, so no mistakes there.

I added two songs to my music hall of fame, kicking out Valkyrie Profile songs to make room -- the opening and ending theme to Kimi to Idol Precure.  They can sit at 1-star for now, so that I can preserve symmetry in the tiers.

I also finished reading Index GT volume 12.  It was a fun book, especially the first half, but I do feel like there are too many fights in this series and they occur way too randomly.  Basically the book was better when it was focusing on Mikoto and Misaki, like always.
