Hee! I love this author!
"The biggest change in Vash's relationships is with Meryl. Where he had seen her as a friend previously (and thus a liability against the Gung-Ho Guns), she is the one who helps him find his way again. She nurses him, cares for him, allows him to grieve, and gives him the inspiration to find his own answers. He sees Rem in Meryl's conviction and respect for life, but he also sees Meryl from that point on as herself. He presumably returns to her after defeating Knives, fulfilling his promise to her and possibly starting a new phase of their relationship."
Hee! So glad I bought this. Whee! Insight! And shippiness! Even if she can't tell the difference between geraniums and gardenias and is a Legato Fangirl. Legato? Strikingly beautiful? Umm...sure.
