Wait let me try again, the guy with white haired and the black top shown before the Queen in the ED, is that Ray? He's the most popular character with Felli second right?
Hmmm if it's just a bit more she seems featured in the ED too much though I suppose her death could be a trigger point for Fan perhaps? How far into the novels is the show so far anyway? IIRC they have no ending so maybe she got rewrote and will play a larger role in the show? Sorta like how Towards the Terra had a lot of changes from the old movie/manga in last years series.
