It's difficult to compare our interpretations, as I think we've expressed them from different angles. If ones sin affects only oneself, why can't a person see their sin, rise above it, and be cured? If their sin affects those around them, then it becomes impossible to forgive oneself, as others have been affected by it, and they must forgive as well. Maybe. Some days I try not to think too hard about it, but other days I can think about it for long lengths of time... Sorry for a belated reply — I’ve had computer issues.

I think the idea that it's impossible to move on. If you can see your own sin and feel remorseful, it isn't there. But it is there, because you are still aware of it. So if you try to forget and move on due to the fact that your sin is now nonexistent, it comes back because you've stopped acknowledging it. So in the end, you are either a sinner wallowing in ignorance of your sin or a clean soul wallowing in remorse. Am I just saying the same thing as you? I can't quite tell. It's a very complicated idea, but the above explanation makes sense to me at least. About the circle of sin- I think I interpret it differently. I think the idea that it’s impossible to move on.

Anyway, come on. We know you've seen all of it already. Is it great or what? Also, do you see how Reki's story grows in importance as the series progresses and overshadows Rakka's story?
