*laughs* I tend to overanalyze, so I do find Nanaly and her characterization interesting, plus a soft spot for symbiotic sibling relationships. That said, I agree that if they push her into the 'active' plot now it'd be somewhat jarring.

The bashing of Suzaku is annoying, and it pains me to see people not realizing the point of his character. But that's neither here nor there. <3 Also, your final line provokes interesting point. So is Suzaku 'ends' or 'means'? Are both of them Machiavellian bastards?
