Yes, yes! And I never see anyone really take into account the future of them all. I mean, you can tell in Weiss Side B even more. Ken can't really DO anything should Weiss split up. Ran CAN go back to his sister, Youji can (and does) start new, Omi has his whole life ahead of him to pursue what he wants since he's so young, but Ken! Ken had his life set up, a life which he was passionate about, and then it was pulled away from him. He's believed to be dead, so he can't really jump back into a normal life, let alone pursue soccer again.

... actually, I once wrote a fic set just before the timejump in Kapitel which mentioned Ken's utter inability to find anything to do with his life that didn't have something to do with killing people, if I'm allowed to mention that. Before I wrote that, though, I didn't even think about it; I only realized it because I wrote the fic. You're totally correct: there's absolutely nothing else Ken can do with his life. Aya chooses to stay away from his sister - he didn't have to, but whatever his solid-gold reasons for it, he chose to go back. Omi manages to get away. Likewise Youji, even if it took total retrograde amnesia to manage it - he's still out. Ken? Ken is not only legally dead, life has equipped him for playing soccer (and he can't do that) or killing people. Basically, he's stuck.

I don't think his following Aya had that much to do with any burning desire for Aya's company over the rest of his team - by that point, Aya is absolutely all he had left. Omi's following in his family's footsteps by becoming a corporate bastard and Youji might as well be dead. Given that Ken has abandonment issues like whoa, I think he'd have followed anybody - and what else was he supposed to do? He couldn't exactly stay in prison for the rest of his natural life.

I need to go searching for some more Ken fan fictions again just to read up on his character some more. It's been SO LONG, but I still say he's one of my favorite characters of all time. He always stood out to me, so I really wondered why people downgraded him so much. I was never an Omi fan. Aya's alright, Youji's cooler, but Ken was always my favorite.

I never got to read Weiss Side B, but I did read a lot of the drama CD translations. I should go back and read them again. About all I know of Ken in Side B is that he likes to cook and wears a really awesome mask. Anything else big?
