Resolved issues:
Mental reference to Seishiro not being happy about the volunteered memorial service taking place.
CHECK
Subaru still thinking of Ijyuin's information on the way to the ceremony.
CHECK
Takamura noticing Subaru's unmemorialesque preoccupation.
CHECK
Smooth flow of injury and concern for Nokoru into the talk.
CHECK
Remaining (aside from entirely new scenes):
Seishiro observing Nokoru as (wired) chief mourner.
Kakyo (and Saiga) appearing in the audience or hiding in the bushes? Ah, always these decisions to be made about plot details!
Subaru arriving for the ceremony & Sei noticing his wrinkled shikifuku (lack of composure, too? y/n? Decision again! *sigh*)
...and I still want to polish the snippet about Sei testing a household appliance for Nokoru! ;)

Not yet decided, whether or not that's long enough to successfully prevent fratricide, though.
Well, my soft spot is more Sicarius, but then... it's hard to resist such a potent mix of Shane & Seishiro. ;)
