was wondering, for Alex's emotional growth--and a point where Nami finds herself truly in conflict with her feelings concerning Alex.
The situation:
Holland is hounding Nami, being generally pretty hard on her.
Alex Tells Holland to shut up and quit putting so much pressure on Nami,
maybe have him crying without realizing it.
This separates him from his father, as he is very outspoken when emotional.
Also, it would show how protective he was of Nami, being capable of standing up to even her father when-in most cases he one of the most laid back people Nami may know.
This would have several implications. One bi most obvious that he cares fr HER not her family name or even for Holland's sake. Even despite what cruel jokes, pranks, or words she might have said to him beforehand--this is the point where he becomes very clear about how much he likes her even if he hasn't said it, in quite so many words as that.
Now, one thing I am betting on, is the blow back from Nami. While I belive she will feel the effect of the moment where he is being protective of her, she will more than likely try to mask her feelings as they surge to the surface.
She'll yell at him for supposedly making he look spineless and weak. This would be very ironic, because in her not being able to tell lex how she feels is being spineless, it is being weak.
This will lead to discord in which Alex would run away and try to drive the Nirvash.This time the Nirvash works because of his emotional state.
I could see Nami going after him, but not quite try to stop him. ts only when she sees hm piloting the Nivash by himself that she would probably feel...abandoned would probably be the best way to describe it.
But she would get to see something not quite right about the way it moves. She could bear witness to why exactly he needs her. Because when he is attacked by two military LFO's instead of disarming them or killing them quickly--Alex and the Nirvash with out an emotional anchor, attack ruthlessly until the Nirvash is covered in blood until Nami says his name and he comes back to.
He wouldn't immediately show remorse. Not until he got within range of her. I see him crying again, and coiling his arms tightly round Nami before falling to his knees and sobbing regretfully.
I can that is t point where they run away...yeah run away om Holland an join Blue Seed in order to get freedom. But little do thy know, the leader wants to use Alex.
