Loveless episode 8

I uttered a sigh of relief when I saw Soubi in the preview for next episode. For a moment I really thought Soubi died. O.o I really hate him now for not taking up the phone and fighting in his own, and for breaking all of his promises to Ritsuka. I still don't really know if he really loves Ritsuka or if he's just following Seimei's orders... And I know he doesn't want to endanger Ritsuka and all, but he just needs him to fight those zero people, and he shouldn't just allow people to kill him like that because it would make Ritsuka sad!
