Oh okay, I got your definition. I agree on everything too (including the "being so crazy that he's actually able to function"), it's just a difference in interpretation of stability. Unhealthy I can definitely say is true.
And maybe I should have worded that better, orz. I meant that she herself was taken away in death; she certainly still existed in his mind to give him a purpose. However, he wasn't using her own wishes went he went off with an intent to murder; he may have fought with her name on his lips and her pin over his heart, but the goal itself wasn't something that she would approve of (trying to kill Zero in vengeance). He was bending the memory into something that will still justify his behavior. And you're right, that same kind of mentality is what guides him through R2—though he does at least realize to some degree in Turn 08 that his actions weren't necessarily reflecting Euphie's own thoughts.
Again, that's a difference in the definition of stability. I see that constant need for a hold in life—even if that hold is based on a falsehood or twist—to be unstable, even if he appears otherwise in everyday life. Maybe just because it can change so quickly. But yeah, I think we agree on everything but that definition. XD
. . . and now I feel the need for something decidedly non-serious in celebration of the birthday, somehow.
