Alternate Character Interpretation: Whether due to a purposeful inclusion or due to bad acting, Kassie looks more resigned than excited over the idea of marrying Wally.
The book
Complete Monster: Hubert Spencer is the evil father of the main protagonist. When the Ambarayans refused to sell him their moonfruit so he could profit off of it, he had them wiped out and ordered his men to Leave No Survivors. Later, to test his product, he created a Fake Charity for homeless children so he could take them off the streets and experiment on them with no remorse. Later he attempts to murder one in cold blood, with his son next to the child, and laughs coldly during the event.
