I haven't been following Karneval much except for the scanlations, but I think your theory of Karoku being a scientist is right --- and the "bad guys" have probably recruited him because of that. I mean, aren't they researching evolution? And so, since their aim is to create(?) people with abnormal abilities, they may be in need of Karoku's help. However, he probably hasn't told them of Nai, but they may have figured it out themselves that Nai is somehow related to Karoku. (But how does "being blood-related" explain why they can sense each other's feelings and communicate telepathically? o___o)
B-uut, I really don't think Karoku is a good guy. It seems to me as if he's just using Nai as an "experiment" and probably doesn't want to "share" Nai with anyone else (i'm poking the possessive-about-work-scientist stereotype here). I think it was out of genuine worry that Gareki might indeed end up caught in some evil if he stays near Nai I at least don't think he's that nice to worry about someone he doesn't even know.
/feel free to hit me if I have exposed my Karneval-related ignorance too much *hides*
"being blood-related" explain why they can sense each other's feelings and communicate telepathically? This is just an idea. They're both seem to have some special abilities and the blood somehow connects them?
Hm, I used to think Karoku is evil too, but... It's just that chapter 19 convinced me otherwise :)
at least don't think he's that nice to worry about someone he doesn't even know He seems sointerested in Gareki, though. It's stated somewhere later. I get the feeling he's like an adult Nai, and Nai cares about others.
Thank you for the comment :D You made me reconsider some things...
