Quote:If you're talking about Yomiko Readman, my thinking for both Hanabi and her is still the same. Both of them lost their first loves (male) under tragic circumstances. For them to turn femme after that doesn't make sense. But that's just me ^^.
Y'know, this is the second time I've heard you imply that getting on with life after tragedy is dishonorable.
I'm not saying that it's a case of the hot pants, but ... well, I'll just quote Kayama's translation:
Hanabi: ......But...... I'm sorry...... I - can't forget Philippe......
No matter how hard I try...... I just can't forget......
Glycine: But if I lose you, what will I do, left behind!? I could do naught but live in tears!!
... "naught but live in tears"? I'm sorry, but you don't say that about someone who's "just" a dearest friend.
As to that exchange, sounds like a sister begging her other sister not to die and leave her alone.
