I said "Dammit What A Series..." Catching a cold has allowed me to finish this Masterpiece in a mere 3 sittings...
And my two yen on the Norse Symbolism:
C.C = Loki.
"A heartlessly whimsical and egotisctical sadist of a trickster god who hands out irresponsible gifts like so much poisoned candy on Halloween, uncaring of the consequences or whether the person can bear the agony of the gift; just that it gets
used."
This fits both Loki and C.C to a tee. Yes, I'm of the opinion that the blood of 200 Thousand Innocent Japanese: And that of the
Only Other Truly-Good Hearted British Girl beside Nanali-Chan, is stained on the hands of this most callous, heartless, and burn-worthy witch. (Why the blazes did I vote for her popularity BEFORE I watched Episode 22, WHY OH WHY!!)
