firstly i agree about the Leonard and Kanme kiss it meant less than nothing to Kaname and all it meant to leonard was that it was in the hopes to try and woo Kaname into cooperating with him in the long run (reference to ANOT what douche bag aka Leonard has that little monolougue about the pimps he saw when he was younger) i have to disagree with you on the part of pushing him inside a meat procesing plant. to me that seems a like too much of a nice and quick way to die. i would aim to draw his torture out for as long as possible. if designers made douche bags leonard would be a Gucci douche bag. top of the range.

Some pictures from the FMP Sigma raws.
Leonard shows Chidori his past. Spoiler:
Chidori hesitates shooting Leonard. Spoiler:
I don't know what the fuck happened here but judging from the pictures, she shoots him and then tries to kill herself on the plane but it somehow turns out this bastard is still alive and well. Spoiler:
Hooray! My Sousuke and Tessa moment! She tries to hold his hands and he accepts ![]() Spoiler:
Oh no he didn't do that! Spoiler:
I wish Sousuke would have seen this. He would fucking blow his brains out. 2nd kiss btw. Spoiler:
Rubbing it off doesn't help, unfortunately. Spoiler:

Simply put, it's not Chidori in control when the illusion was created. I saw some works with similar cases before but I can't really recall the source, still, when you're obeying a person spiritually will you say you're controlled by them? No, so Chidori said "Sophia needs her to do something". Yes, it can be strange for her not calling for help, but remember that Chidori is sure that Sousuke will go after her, so is it really need to call for help? Can it be split personality? Maybe, but unlikely. Because from Sousuke's view that's definately her except for her actions. And also remember, even the (if there's really one) former Chidori is aware that she killed Sousuke and Tessa, the same personality that recalled their friendship and love and then despise that. If she created this illusion to cheat Sophia, then it's not even logical for her to create a lie to cheat someone while taking this lie seriously. Thus, the most logical explaination is that she's cooperating with Sophia. Weird, yeah, but then she's the real keystone in the world (by Leo), and is there something she wants to change in the past which makes her course the same as Sophia and Leo? Dunno. You do raise an interesting point: who's behind Mithril and Amalgam? But from the story it's pretty clear that Tessa and Leonard are having the same goal: to eliminate Whispered from the world. They're just using different methods: the former wants to stop the sorce of what turning people to Whispereds, while the other wants to reset the timeline altogether. So more or less their paths are intervined, just see who should be the one to make the final decision.

@Hunter
Just to make things clear. In my theory, the "former" Chidori is aware of all. She created the ilusion to protect Sousuke and Tessa, and even spoke with Sousuke. She doesn't want Sousuke to keep chasing her. She wants him to wait for her. She cheated this "new" Chidori. But she don't despite this new her. Probably she is willing to archieve the same goals. Then, the new Chidori can speak about Sousuke and Tessa's "death" without emotions. Something that doesn't happens when she recalls Kurz because in the depths of the new one, this "former" Chidori is fully aware of Kurz's death. Former Chidori is aware that it was all an ilusion. The new Chidori despise the love and friendship, but because she knows that its ill-fated (in this world). The display of emotions (when she says that love Sousuke and longs for him, but also tells him to don't get near) after the dome too was an action of the new Chidori. Now we have: Former Chidori: Aware of her actions, created an ilusion, spoke with Sousuke, cry over Kurz's death. New Chidori: Trying to change the world. Despise the ill-fated love and the "thin" friendship. Believes that Sousuke and Tessa are dead. But they seen to have the same goal. Even if their emotions are different. I really believe that Tessa wants to stop all the "whispering", but she doesn't want to erase the past. She looks ahead to continue with her life. What Leonard wants, well, I really don't know. But I don't believe that he wants to change the past to stop wars and black tecnology. What Sophia wants, if it is the same that new Chidori, or even if New Chidori and Former have the same goals, well who knows?

The second time, probably was because Leonard was planning to leave Lemon (whos was injured) in a desert place and, if I recall, was a snowy mountain. It was an exchange for Lemon's life.
Yeah, and he really hits her. And she doesn't try to kill herself in the plane. She is pushing Kallinin to turn back the plane, so she can go back to where Sousuke is.

Well Leonard IS Chidori's not only first but second, and maybe third or fourth and so on kiss. We know that.
It does look though that she is taking being kissed by Leonard bit better by now. Maybe soon she will learn how to enjoy it too, as Leonard seems more than willing to keep this up. It would be funny if Sousuke would take her 12th or something kiss with his dying breath, only for her to still end up with Leonard after that. Well in Shoujo it would be a rather typical scenario - the girl likes other guy but ends up having her first kiss stolen by a bastard bishie and he keeps on stealing kisses until she finally realizes that she actually likes the bad guy who forced himself on her and tore her relationship with a good, pure prince apart. Or another end. Sousuke dies, Leo survives, Sousuke gets his last-first kiss but since Leo is alive and Chidori survives too we can still 'hope' for Leo/Chidori end somewhere. Heck he would still have kissed her twice as much as Sousuke by that point too. Or another not so bad but still not satisfying scenario. Both heros survive and we have and ending shot with them leaning towards each other for a kiss but we never have the luck to actually see it (or next worse - we see shadows in the sunset standing close, implying kissing). And then you would have been left with rather different feelings - you are happy since both of them are alive and probably have many kisses in the future, but you never see their actual kiss, just an implications of it, while the only real kisses you saw were Leo/Chidori.

I don't agree with the kissing thing, at least not currently. Leonad kissed Kaname twice yet, she hated both ok maybe she enjoyed phisically the first one (GRR yuck eww ), but I don't think she enjoys it much more, at least it wasn't written in the novels.NO MORE kisses from Leonard or I hit Gatou with something hard. At first i thought that it's quite probable that Sousuke could die, but now i don't think so, it would be too wierd for Kaname to be the crying "oh noooo" of the two. And a last kiss at dieing would be SO cliche. And FMP is really not a cliche story (yet). The version with Leonard winning and taking Kaname... Well it would be too tragic and absurd IMO, after all these things. The version with S and K getting together but without kiss=i don't think so. Shadow kiss=maybe But I do not want these I think is gonna be a much more twisted, and less simply black or white ending.

As well as the self-translation of that sentence: "This is actually a painful and sad thing, but the two are now useless. Their game of shallow friendships, or ill-fated lovers or such, so what if they continue? This world will be reset in the coming future regardless." As such, Sophia=Chidori is actually despising these as as whole because she won't care about it anymore, since they will be erased after the world reset. This is an endless loop for the arguments though, but I still believe that Sohpia is taking control most of the time with just a little place for Chidori's mind to flow with, thus showing some sign of split personality. And no, if you read NOT carefully you can see Leo's intensions. Even if Sousuke takes her back, they'll still suffer for the rest of their lives since there'll always someone longing for her power; but if the world resets then she'll just be an ordinary girl. And an important point: Chidori isn't a normal Whispered but a Whispering, the one who send BT to all other Whispered after receiving them from future (as she received Tau waves for the most, for unknown reasons). Why will she want to intervene the present, for some unacceptable past or something in the future? That's the main problem behind all these stuff.

And yes, Chidori recognizes this world as ill-fated. Thats why she wants to changed it. Or at least, its what I think. And you are absolutely right. Its an endless loop for arguments. Regarding Leonard's intention, I just have the sensation that Gatou will come up with something that will surprise us all. He seens to like those twists in the story, like Kallinins betrayal. And as you said, Chidori seens to be aware that, in this world, there will be always someone chasing her, and so Sousuke would be in an endless struggle to protect her (and that's something that I'm saying since the first post... It's just seens to be clear in the novel itself in my opinion). Its and endless discuss until Gatou release the novel. But its very nice have someone who can translate from the chinese version to discuss about the novels.

Darknemo2000, I understand your point of view. In the direction the novel is going, anything can happen. As for the kiss, in my view, Kaname has not had his first "real kiss". A "real kiss" is when two people who love each other, they kiss one to the other, and enjoy the moment. Be caught by surprise by someone with their lips together is not a "real kiss". Leonard can steal when kisses you like, will be nothing. It continues being a stolen kiss of a kidnapper. There is no reciprocity. A real kiss must be reciprocated physically and emotionally.

Speaking of Sousuke and Kaname, today I accidentally came across a shipping trope about them on the TV Tropes website. The writer of the trope claims that because of the "derailment of Kaname's character" in the latter novels, quite a few fans who used to ship the Sousuke/Kaname pairing abandoned the ship preferring that Sousuke had remained the emotionless Kashim. Here's the link if anyone cares to peruse the mention:

when Leonard kisses ehr the second time if anything it is more of a submission in not bothering to argue and fight it anymore because she knows he can do anything he wants to her and its useless to fight it at this point in time. she has also seen Leonards true colours in the way that he is only using her. also i dont think Kaname could ever forgive Leonard and just accept being with him after everything he did in Tokyo. after re-reading ANOT i feeling a little more positive that Gatoh wont go for a time reset ending. Spoiler for ANOT:
even if Kaname and Leonard agree and try and rewrite the past im hoping Gatoh somehow writes it that Sousuke stops them but when he stops them he severs the link to the future and from that point on no more black technology will be able to be accessed. once again im banking on my theory that Sousuke decides to stop them even thought there is the possibility to bring people back that have died on the basis that even though they have suffered and had harsh lives those trials have brought them all together and turned them into the people they are. also if it wasnt for those events none of them woudl ahve met each other. i forgot to add that in the end Leonard dies.

I have to agree with you Chidori. It is a question I myself have been wondering for quite some time. and the answers are still not there. knowing the majority of the story as we do.. it still leaves that question un answered.
errr.. - looked ot her edited comment. - I rather not.. imagine something like that.. |

XD!! @ post from FMC.. So you want Leonard turned to a Gucci bag? I was hoping for leather shoes,.... .......shoes made with the skin of his heart tinted in blue. Do they come in size 7 1/2 ? Quote:
WOW,..thats the first i EVER heard anyone perfering the emotionless Kashim over how he is now. Anyone who likes him in that mode,..must have seen only the first 3 episodes or something? His Kashim side only showed briefly in his tough moments....and its not even part of him at all anymore.. He changes from the very beginning.. If he goes back to Kashim, its not even Sousuke anymore. Why bother growing to become the man he is now, knowing how to kick major ass and still win back the girl...only to go back? thats pathetic. you'd have another Heero from gundam Wing. One of them is enough, Lame. Who the hell wants him as the lonely kashim? Sousuke isnt a Samurai. Those fans,...who "left" am glad are gone. Hit the road! If the Romance and Battles are too hot for you then leave the inferno! Woot!

Not really, there are ALOT of fans who prefer Kashim over Sousuke especially with this Kaname/Leonard thing going on. I'v always been a Tessa shipper though, so I'm not included but the hopes of Sousuke x Tessa happening is highly unlikely. =(
