Thoughts: At this point, even though the Veil is captured, Sakura is not able to restore Miara's vision. I'm completely in the dark about how she eventually accomplishes this! I like the way that Kero-chan uses the Age as comparison about how the affected person needs to resolve their issue internally before going back. It's also foreshadowing because it's used in this chapter!
In art class Erika was sculpting a cat. Is this a hint about Risa's patron animal?! Speaking of patron animals, Eron asked Sakura who was Moonie-chan.
I really love the Aki spotlight in this chapter. He's been around since Arc 1 and became more prominent from Arc 2 but this is the first time we learn about him. It's sad to know at 16 his future is already decided for him despite the fact he has other interests.
Wish-chan drew a really nice fanart of Eron and Erika's parents and uncle. Bubulona shared her interpretation of them with us as well.
Eron and Sakura looking through the yearbook was a great peak into the Nadeshiko era characters that doesn't require a plot-relating flashback!

I always pictured Li Jingmei to be on the frumpy or dowdy side, but according to chit-chat at the Kinhoshi Hospital she's described as a beauty.
I really like the way that Touya is regretting the way he treated Syaoran after Sakura's life was saved. It allows his role in the future chapters and his new attitude towards Syaoran to make more sense.
Oh my gosh. How could I have completely forgotten Sakura finding Syaoran at Eitoukou while he was playing Star-Crossed on violin? It's like I'm reading this chapter for the first time because all I remember is the Mikai vs Aki basketball game later on.
Sakura using the Ball Card gives me wonderfully nostalgic Arc 1 feels. And it was only a year and a couple of months since I've started my re-read.
Sakura may have caught the Pride in this chapter, but it's not the last time this card is going to give her trouble despite the fact that it's captured.
Wish-chan thought that a 37,000 words chapter was too long so she split it in two. In ten years, Ch 73 would be 115,000 words!
Fanart spotlight: This was Aki's chapter. That goes without saying. He started out as a cocky playboy but he's a dutiful son and extremely hard worker. It's only fitting that I use a fanart of Aki even if he's younger here. It's nice that young Mikai is also featured because he was Aki's inspiration to be a hard worker.
