I must have missed in Ep12 where Sheryl inquired about Ranka safety. She did arrive in the middle of a battle and almost got shot by the Zentradi leader. I'd think I trade being sick and captured vice being half a second away from being vaporized. |

Though on the other side, Ep12 has shown us that Ranka is one-track minded when it comes to Alto. In this case she's being a naive little girl that needs a wakeup call and realize the world. The fact reminds that both Ranka and Sheryl did not go to Galia IV to stem the Zentradi uprising. Ranka went for Alto. Sheryl went for Galaxy. In you opinion, which is the more noble of selfish intentions? For the whereabouts of the many or for the safety of one... That speaks volumes in my book.

Last time I checked Ranka has her own singing career she has to worry about. While she didn't lose her home fleet like Sheryl she did lost her whole family when she was a child. Now she has dissociative amnesia. Maybe that might be a slight concern of hers too. I think she fairly concerned about her brother's safety. Sheryl showed so much concern for her friend safety too in Ep12 huh? ![]() |

You're kinda forgetting about the context of the situation when she said those words. They were hostages to a group of rebelling Zentradi who were demanding for culture and Sheryl was the only person, as far as anyone on Galia IV was aware, who could fulfill their demands and placate them. The only way to defuse the situation and open up the sky for Alto is to go out there and sing for the Zentradi. There's nothing one-track minded about it. She's very aware of her responsibilities and the consequences of her actions on Galia. Freeing up the sky for Alto to fly in is nothing but a measurement of success for defusing the current crisis at hand. Last edited by cerrian; 2008-07-02 at 13:56. |

Sheryl was sick in nearly the whole ep and when she woke up everything was already in control. What's left for her to concern? ![]() In ep 7 while doing her concert not only Sheryl was worrying about Alto, she's worrying for the whole team who went fighting too. And Ranka? She only thought about her brother and Alto. |

I've made my point several times already so I'll stop here. As for Sheryl not caring for Ranka's feelings, that can't be further from the truth... except for some parts dealing with Alto.

She looked wide awake to me. Sick yes but still awake. Sheryl was worrying about the others? Did she even know them at this point. When she was looking at the feed wasn't all about her favorite pilot, Alto. When Ranka is talking to her brother he saying that he'll take care of Alto and all the others guys and none of them will die. She seems to be worrying about more than just Alto and her brother. |

Sheryl frustrated about not doing her job? Not meeting expectations? Then why was she so worried about Alto's gift? Wasn't that her true primary concern then? Same as Ranka huh? Go figure. |

Before Sheryl sang Infinity: "Just for this last song... for a certain person... No, I want to sing it for a certain group of people. For people who are risking their lives right now in a faraway place." She cared for Galaxy, and for the Frontiers soldiers who were fighting to save Galaxy, too. It was only after her brother's call that Ranka knew they went off fighting. She looked down for a moment, then exclaimed, 'Then Alto-kun too?' Then continuing to enjoy the show ![]() Quote:

Why then did the first thing out of her mouth was about "Alto's present". This once again just goes to show that Alto's present was her primary concern. She could have said I need to go stop this battle because people are going to die, or I need to stop this battle so I can find out more about Galaxy. But instead she wanted to stop the battle so that Alto could fly. How romantic of her but then how is Ranka stopping the battle to give Alto his present so wrong and Sheryl doing the exact same thing so noble? I ponder this and can't fathom the answer. |

What's wrong for taking a rest once in a while? All her life before meeting Alto was only revolving around her career so it's normal that she wanted a little fun. And it seemed that she didn't take time off of work to go to school but tried to maintain both school and work to the point that it exhausted her. |

As far as feeling of gratitude, its difficult to express gratitude by pure expression and still maintain the atmosphere of failure Sheryl is feeling and the main focus at the time was her depression. To add more to the scene would have destroyed the mood and impact to the viewer. Last edited by daimonth; 2008-07-02 at 17:40. |
