I have to admit, however, that I don't really feel that I learned all that much more about what makes her tick. Most of what we learned on that front slotted pretty easily into what I already assumed: she's led a fairly sheltered life, recognizes that and wants to correct it, but is still in the very early stages of that process. I'm quite happy with what we got so this isn't meant as a criticism, I just bring it up because TD specifically mentioned getting to learn more about Mina here. I'm not sure that came across. [Though I did find @akselx's idea that Mina has 'caught' Killian's affection for the MC to be very insightful, so maybe I just missed this.]
