Was Sending Sousuke to Tokyo Kalinin’s Way of Saving Him?
Was Kalinin’s decision to send Sousuke to Tokyo about more than just protecting Kaname? I always got the feeling he wanted Sousuke to reconnect with normal life and maybe realize he didn’t have to live only as a soldier. Do you think Kalinin hoped Sousuke would eventually choose peace over war?
I also don’t think Mithril ever seriously considered the possibility that Sousuke would actually fall in love with Kaname. To them, it was probably just another protection mission, but it ended up completely changing Sousuke as a person. Maybe Kalinin was unconsciously hoping for that, or maybe there were protocols about staying professional and not getting emotionally attached.
Thoughts?
