As I read through the series, I keep running into some phrases and I don't get the idea they are trying to convey. I'll probably post here often, so please excuse me now for my stupidity.
The one that sticks in my head most is from Volume 3, Mysterique Sign.
"Nagato was looking at me intently with eyes like liquid helium."
Usually when I read something about someone having "cold eyes", they are angry or are psycho, but neither fits into Yuki's character.
And since this is my first post, I feel it necessary to give a huge "Thank you" to everyone helping with the project. I'm enjoying reading this very much.
Some phrases I don't understand.

Cold usually means unemotional. Now a good definition of a psycho may be that they commit their crimes without remorse, without being able to empathise with their victims because they are so cold.
But being cold does not necessarily imply that kind of cool anger.
Yuki is not evil, she's a kind of computer. Her steely-eyed coldness reflects her (in theory) machine-like, unemotional identity. But, of course, as we discover in volume four, she is capable of being, ahem, warmed up.
