I'm kinda curious how Fate's petrification darts affect *non-physical entities*, but then I remembered that Sayo's only able to be here because of the voodoo doll she's in.
Which arguably means she's stuck inside the petrified doll with no sense of sight, sound, or anything, but still aware, unlike the other petrified victims. Eeek?
Despite the general badassness of the crew, though, I'm semi-grateful that it didn't go off without a hitch, as otherwise, you'd wonder why Negi needed to take so much Training From Hell.
Regarding Yue...I don't know what her family life is like, as the only family we know of hers is her deceased grandfather, whose death led to her being the reserved near-shut in that she was just before the series started (until Nodoka and co. brought her out of her shell). However, in regards to "not going back", I don't think that she's going to be able to go back, even if she gets her memories back. Not entirely. Currently, it's more of a "why would I go back?" due to the amnesia, but assuming recovery...she's got as strong ties to Mundus Magicus and her squad as she ever did to the rest of the class. I suspect she'll end up straddling the two eventually, though I do wonder if this was to provide an easier out of the love triangle between her and Nodoka.
Also, I'm rather perversely pleased that Chachamaru's CatSat artifact got used again. It's ridiculously impractical under most circumstances, but it feels less "this is for that one giant mook we need to take out" now.
