Yeah, the Anteiku Raid was pretty much a disaster for him in all ways. It seems like he kind of realized it in the end, saying that he was just like his mother trying to cling to people because of fear.

This is kind of interesting in terms of thinking about the Anteiku Raid. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThresholdGuardians)

Arima really is his Threshold Guardian, a challenge he wasn't able to overcome. He was essentially forced back to the beginning, which we're seeing with how so many things are being echoed or repeated.

I'm also curious to see where things go with the Quinx. I half-suspect Kanki may react to them like he did with Hide, spending so much time obsessing over his fear of being rejected that he won't give them a chance to prove where they stand.

I also think it is very possible that in the future, the Quinx will find themselves targeted by CCG. (Urie's enhancements going awry, deciding the project is too dangerous, ect)
