Y'know, I'd always wonder if Rai and Bardo would ever do so if Konoe took Asato's path. Or what happened to Kaltz in Rai and Bardo's path? He never seemed to appear in any of the endings. It's explained nicely in Asato's path, but what of the alternatives!? At least we kinda know Froud went to play with Rai, but... x_x' Right, I'm thinking too much.
Aye, I do agree with your second point on Rai not leaving Setsura immediately. Even in Bardo's path, Konoe mentioned that Rai must have felt abandoned because Bardo was the only close kin after his parents died, and for him to have become the Rai of today was because he didn't want to get hurt. Those two sillies! :'<
Buuut anyways, I thank you for writing this story just to provide a good closure. :3

As for the endings, I think we can chalk that up to Nitral not having enough time. There's obviously a couple of holes here and there that would likely have been ironed out if they hadn't had to start cutting corners.
Personally, I always felt Bardo's biggest problem was that he looked upon Rai as an equal, when Rai, even as a grown man, really was in need of guidance. And of course, since Rai's by that point completely unable to express or even fully comprehend his own needs, sparks would fly.
Thanks, glad to hear from you. :)
