branchandrootYou know, the magnitude of Fai's shock in 125 makes me think that the offer to kill was somehow between him and Ashura-ou. Knowing RG Veda, I'm inclined to suspect that Fai was supposed to kill his king, not just seal him, or something like that. It would be in keeping with CLAMP's taste for parallels. It would also help explain why he finally stops protesting.

They do love their misdirection.
