>I think they developed that enough. She has some complex about finishing things at what she perceives as 'the peak'.
I'm the guy you're replying to.
So the idea is the original Reiko Kujirai probably had a difficult life, ran to Kowloon and met the naive Kudo. She had a past & possible baggage and she was afraid of change as well as getting close to people? Gwen remarked on her that she had "the scent of death" and "it was hard to know what she was thinking" (both Kudo & Gwen).
I mean, I can almost buy that but it's very dramatic. Does the mangaka give Reiko a compelling backstory like Maomay,
Miyuki Hebinuma, etc... that would explain this behavior? E.g. Maomay ran from being a celebrity because she felt like everything in her life was being decided for her. Miyuki was adopted by the "baddies" so his mother could receive treatment but it was in vain anyhow, plus he's a hermaphrodite (poor genetics, maybe that's why his mother died?)... Come to think of it Xiaohei was actually a dude but wanted to live as a little Chinese girl forever.
I can accept that for why Reiko did her gambit (was it a 100% suicide attempt or did she actually have a cold or want to get high off the recalled Hebinuma cold pills, essentially rolling the dice of her fate?) if there is some back story into why, that'd be cool.
My problem is Kudo didn't do anything wrong except be really naive (we see a roll reversal compared to the past with Reiko Kujirai B and the nu-one generated from Kudo / Gene Terra / whatever -- the modern day Kudo adopts old Reiko and nu-Reiko is the naive one) with his marriage proposal and be utterly enthralled with his sexy smoking hag coworker who showed him the ropes of the city, work, how to enjoy cigarettes, etc... it all basically boils down to a problem in communication.
Why did we waste so many episodes on Gene Terra and the Generics and stuff that didn't even matter? Kudo controls Gene Terra because it picked him... or something?
