Ahiru may have given Mytho back his heart, but Rue already had a downpayment on it.
Ahh, that's a funny way to put it! *laughing* But it's quite right. I just wish I knew Mytho's take on this; and on the topic of Drosselmeyer and The Real Creators vocalizing their intentions, I don't think they ever once said that Mytho returned Ahiru's love, despite appearances. I thought this was confirmed, stamped, and sealed with wax when she turned out to represent hope for him and not love, and even more so when it turns out Ahiru represented hope for everyone and the entire series, with the exception of Fakir. It turns out that, from the very start, Ahiru was never meant for Mytho, with or without Drosselmeyer's help. After all, true romantic love - the cutting, absolute one you describe - is nothing if not exclusive.
The story hurts!
It does, it does! And it's not that the creator ran out of ideas, either. In an interview, she is asked what she'd focus on if she ever created a sequel or spinoff, and she answers without hesitation that she'd build one around Ahiru and Fakir and what happens to them after the story finished. But she admits, of course, that she can't do any of this without funds from the DVD sales. WHICH IS WHY I WILL BUY THE SET, I WILL! But you can imagine how hopeful that statement made me - "she has more, there's a chance she'll come out with more! And it'll be all about Fakir and Ahiru and possibly how she's written back into a girl and fjjdfkjdf--"
