Bones was about a subtle as a battering ram with the inclusion
Remember, it is not so much a personal thing to me, but much more so for Bones et al, as they made the decision to write the show this way.
Quote:
Akemi is 17 in Saikano, this woman is at least in her late 30s looking at the lines on her face. Why are they different? Here is another way they are different, Shihoko's eye's are dancing, She is insane. Also, the same as last line, see my speculation spoiler for "contractor" mode. It happens in real life that way to, when people turn cold to you, a different person etc. I think that is the reason that Bones et al did include Akemi here so they could drive the point home between "personal mode" and "contractor mode" (see battering ram in this message title). Spoiler for These are the many things that are the same:
So, after doing all that I moved on to the next question. Why did Bones et al do this, and that is where I am now. The next part is speculated educated guesses but it is where I am today in my thinking (without drawing/laying out my conclusions) Spoiler for Last Thursday:

Good questions. If she just ages and then grows older again, wouldn't that means she could technically be ageless if she wanted to be? But on the other hand if she ends up not being able to grow older, then it makes more sense that she can't use her powers whenever she wants to or else she'll eventually end up an infant.

but wouldn't it also make sense that she ages because if she didn't age that would be her contract instead of getting younger. It's only natural for her to age, maybe she just uses it so much that she has become so much younger.
Also I wonder how old she looked before she used her powers. |

Anyway I thought you were talking about the two characters' personalities and stuff, so I guess I have misread your line. |

Having watched up till Episode 18 over the past week, I felt that Darker than Black started to be interesting only from Episode 13 onwards, with the beginning of Yin's arc. On the other hand, it felt as though the show was trying too hard to be another Cowboy Bepop for the first 12 episodes, especially given the influence of Yoko Kanno's music. I suppose we'll be seeing the reasons behind the Evening Primrose's actions pretty soon? |

I think Amber still age. She says something like "Hei, I've traveled a long way. All throughout time". At least her price is getting about 2-3 years younger and I think when she was in war at south america she've must used her power more often. This was was 10 years ago (just don't count how old really is Amber ) so this years count too. If not, she'll be a small baby now. But who knows?

Well, then we learn that de payment is not an action, it can be an intern or extern process to. Amber get younger, Alma get older.. Shikoto "feel" and Hei.... WTF with Hei?, i think that we can think again about "have feelings" as payment for him. But if the writters want to be more dramatic, Hei`s payment should be something like "shorter life"... i don know..
So, maybe Amber is the same age that Housimi- sama, maybe... she is her twin sister or something like that... and i hope that she dont become a kid...(more)

Great too see the character-developement of Hei Just fantastic. Episode 21 will be the hit too Towards the final this show is getting more and more brilliant. Btw: SInce the characters do resemble each other pretty much, the guy in the white silk, is he the one with the "blood-attack" again? In the end Hei shall die peacefully. |
