Essaying helps me get my head straight and should give people, including me, a better idea of how I intend to play Keith at camp. Yes, I had to do this before threading. Anxieties~.

Oh yeah, um major spoilers in this.

This is a really good essay. I like that in reading Keith's actions, you keep in mind the fact that he is a complete bastard, but he is a bastard with a soul. I don't completely understand him, but I do see how you're seeing the balance in his interactions and how it includes his touch with emotions and so forth.

That said, this clearly opens the field for me to essay back. Jomy and Keith are two sides of a same coin, but Blue is-as you said-someone Keith wanted to kill. I almost view Blue as someone that Keith will never be able to understand in that way, because Blue created the Mu mindset.

I'm not sure that was a sentence, but you understand where I'm going, I think.

The Shiroe element adds more problems that I'm not really sure about. Shiroe? Was killed by Keith. The two will have an obvious link and something going on and this will not help matters. Blue reaches out to Shiroe as ( ... )
