I want to use this as a segue to my question about Touka's explanation.
How is she that certain about Sensei's blackout situation? Or rather,
what does she mean when she said "it's practically common knowledge to all of us (1-A girls) at this point"?

We know he has blackouts.
We know the cause of some of his blackouts. But when and how do the girls know? And to what degree? Even girls like Ayane only learned about and started to be mindful about his blackouts very recently, and now it's
everyone's common sense? Your teacher will from time to time get possessed and it has become as regular as Monday blues? And also,
everyone? Really?
On one hand, I am thinking that Touka knew some of his mentally unstable moments, came to at least partially embrace some of the indescribable natures surrounding Yasu and Sensei, but overgeneralized these concepts and inadvertently made
us,
the viewers who actually know more, think that she also knows quite a lot. Otherwise, why would she go straight to using the word "possessed" instead of just describing him as merely "mentally unstable"? Especially after her recent experience with Yasu and
right after Yasu said "It's not just me (who get frequently possessed) either! It's Sensei too! We have a
gift!"?
On the other hand, I can't help thinking that this is a cheap, overly convenient cop-out solution to let Karin learn some of the truth and force her back to the love arena, paying little attention to which person can reasonably deliver such truth. I can't help thinking I am just some nerd nerding the fuck out about some miscellaneous things.
(Seriously, what has Touka experienced that warranted her the confidence of delivering that explanation to Karin? Did I forget something?)
