One of only a few in the world who makes sense on a regular basis. He's the only one to treat Luke like a human being <i>just for being a human being</i>, and ultimately one of the major catalysts behind Luke's evolution. His only emotional responses are sadness and disappointment, often with himself. Even before the REPLICAAAAAAA deal, Ion makes a point of relating to Luke's frustration brought on by a forcibly sheltered life, unable to make real changes. Even when he's betrayed and dies, his only thought is that he can finally be helpful to people.<br /><br />His gender and even his role in the story is superfluous. He's simply a likable character, and everything else just kind of falls in line behind that.Ecclesiastes(273)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12472479463263586707noreply@blogger.com
