Usually I wouldn't be posting to a comm without bearing fanworks, but something's been killing me for awhile and it would be great to see some other opinions.
Besides the resemblance between Lag and Gauche, there seem to be a few other things that click, like the fact that they both shoot baris. Also, Lag's age in comparison to Sylvette seems to be emphasized a lot, and Gauche lost part of his heart too on the day of the Flicker.
So Lag and Sylvette could have been twins, with Lag seperated from the Suedes at birth, and Gauche's memory loss seems awfuly convienient for him not to remember his mother. As for the mother, she could possibly be the empress from what I can see from Lag's dream, and the fact that she was taken to the higher classed region.
Besides, this would be so like what a manga art/author would pull on us.
Anyone else think so?
