Hey, I'm Lancifer, this'll be my first post!
After playing The Way 1-5, I have become a little obsessed. Not only is this the best game I've ever played (Other than Morrowind), but it's made with a program I own and can use.
But anyways, thats a bit off the topic. I thought I noticed that further on in the game, Rhue has started to lose his mind. In episode 1, when he kills those men after the rabbit race, he makes a big deal out of it (wouldn't you?), but later on, the killing just becomes second nature to him. I won't go to into it, but in episode 5, he spends alot of time with Cesta (Cetsa? not too sure how to spell it.) But he's willing to kill her on thespot when he finds out she doesn't know about Serena. He walks right by her when she's dying and helps Slade! Now Slade's a guy that Rhue never liked that much. Back to the Cesta thing. he know's that she is a mass murderer, and the leader of the worst gang around, but he jumps into the pit where she is gonna be killed, willing to kill a bunch of just council members (I use the word "Just" loosely, they were kinda crooked, but Rhue didn't really know that.). He starts to threaten to kill people, even people he can't beat. (Strata), and when Lyrra lunges at him, he doesn't try and block it, or dodge it, or explain to her the truth, he just lets her run on his sword, justifying it as "Self defence". After she dies, pretty much in his arms, he closes his eyes, says to himself "Burn me." and walks away, doesn't even look at Strata. I think when he say's "Burn me..." is when he realizes deep down what he's done, but he just forgets about it. It seems Lexus is the last person Rhue kills that he really cares.
Then again, Lexus was the only person besides Serena that he cared about...
Anyways, thats my theory...
P.S. Lexus, Red Zero, and Cesta all suck in battle.
