To game players: please stop alluding to potential plot developments/twists that the anime hasn't explored. As you know, source material spoilers are not permitted in episode threads, and it doesn't help if you suggest all around the issue but "just don't say the word". If you want to speculate using your game knowledge, please go to the
speculation thread.
In other news, I totally agree with you, Sorrow-K; I don't know how it's connected to the game, but I think you've hit on an important part of the way they're developing these characters in the anime. Good point.
