This time however, Biko had ordered them to maintain visual
surveillance only.

What's wrong with showing the call to Biko and her reaction here?

"D!" Biko smiled, despite herself.  "To what do I owe this little
surprise?"  she asked, regarding D questioningly.
	"<It's a long story... Is there somewhere we can talk?  I need your
help, Daitokuji-san.>"  D replied, eyes downcast.

It's just silly to mark the two sides of the conversation differently,
if they're speaking the same language, cha?

She
felt discarded, unloved and unwanted, something she had not ever
experienced
in her life,

Not even when A-ko was chasing after Kei?

Biko exclaimed, jumping forward in her
chair.

Now, most people can only hop around in their chairs, but Biko's got
this special jumping device in her chair.

The huge
crash that resulted woke her instantly.

The problem is that she's a telekinetic and so her guesture is likely to
carry.

Eiko dropped her book.

Well, that's one question answered.

Eiko had been eerily silent since booking out of her hotel.

Once again, in the perception of whom?

"This is cool, Mommy!  I'm super-kid!"  she announced, proudly.

At least she doesn't perceive herself as Sailor Moon.

"Beats following her around on foot with a video camera!"

Ah, the gang of four.  Does the princess still have call on their
loyalties?

Will Biko force Eiko into responding to ranged attacks?
