[@Kuroyomihime] Thank you.  It's time to demonstrate what all the sharp and pointy bits on the "Graham's Longinus" are for.  The direction has more to do with what melee options make the best sense.  And, for the purposes of relative positioning, I'm going to assume that the attacker is approaching from the same side of the line that Kiss Shot was standing on.  This would place him in her rear arc.
