Nanoha StrikerS

[OpMegs]

Subaru's a combat cyborg. Erio's an artificial human.

Were those two things known at that point?

Erio's origins aren't specifically spelled out, but he does mention he was raised inside the TSAB's custody, which the reactions
others give suggest isn't at all normal. And yeah, Tea's lack of surprise after Ginga's kidnapped and Subaru busts herself up but good suggests the
only person not in on the secret was the audience(as does the quote "I can keep this up for five days without sleep" or some paraphrase thereof).

And yeah, it was badly handled all around. Which, surprisingly, is why I like it so much. It gave us a chance to see Nanoha screw up in a situation that
wasn't life or death, and she does figure it out and apologize for screwing up later. Imperfect heroine FTW.
