History Characters / BloodC

** [[spoiler: Of course, this is all according to Fumito, who is far from a reliable narrator. He speculates that Saya was tricked into some sort of pack to keep her from killing humans. However, Saya herself seems to have something of an affinity for them, as in the movie multiple characters point out, her OnlyFriend is a human girl Saya keeps going out of her way to save. Saya even shields her from and Elder Bairn at one point, taking a hit in her place that, while not lethal, was obviously painful, and going out of her way to assure Mana that it wasn’t her fault. Many people note that for all her prickly, standoffish exterior, if Saya truly didn’t care, she could easily have left Mana behind to die several times.]]

This suggests they were pimping out a bunch of girls and got caught for it.]]

* WithFriendsLikeThese: [[spoiler:Turns out that in Episode 12, Nono's love for Nene was not as genuine as it seemed seeing as she easily ''elbows her own twin in the face to the ground and uses her as bait'' in an attempt to escape from Cerberus to save her own skin. It doesn't work.]]
