Storyboard
Episode 20: "False Vows"
Hitomi was supposed to predict the marriage of Millerna and Dryden, but instead, the result was a prediction that Allen would be the right man for her. Not wanting to ruin her relationship with Allen, Hitomi lied about the prophecy. Still, the deception led to unexpected misfortune... Kawamori was in charge of the storyboard for episode 20, which featured the final scene in which Hitomi told Millerna that the fortune-telling result was a lie and presented herself to the enemy.
