Though in all seriousness I do think people are being a bit harsh with Ranka as far as the Nanase thing goes.

As I said, they didnīt even use her voice actress after she got into her coma. So she clearly wasnīt important for anything at that point.
As far as being harsh on Ranka... if this had been an isolated incident, I could also go with her being in shock, etc. But the problem we got with that, is that this was only one sympton of a larger pattern of callous behaviour on part of Ranka.
In her myopic focus on Alto, she tossed aside her adoptive brother, Nanase, Sheryl, and the people of Frontier who were counting on her.
When Ranka didnīt got what she wanted, her inability to overcome her hurt feelings resulted in thousands of deaths.
And when the time came to (wo)man up to what had happened and at least try to bring some solace to the survivors of the Vajra attack, she chose to run away as far as possible from it.
Not to forget that she actually tried to get Alto to run off with her, weakening Frontiers defense even further, knowing fully well that Brera already was waiting to help her. And let us not fail to acknowledge that a confession at knife point isnīt exactly the height of romance.
Some people will say that she was only a teenager, how could she be expected to cope with all this pressure, etc.
Well, laa dee da, teenager, shmeenager. Alto, Sheryl, Luca and Michael are more or less one year older than her, they cope perfectly fine. This excuse therefore is
dismissed and lacks merit.
