Great points SteveMB, and I would like to add that the first paragraph in Klog(blog)#2 states that even Parson dislikes this cutesy-boop names and expect a full on rant, but he didnt have time for it. If that is not foreshadowing to a darker story is not forthcoming then for all of the literary knowledge anyone possesses would not prepare you properly for the emotional responses as the story shifts to a more omnious tone then all I can say is... a Obi Wan Kenobi Trope... "The Truth is all dependant on your point of view" and "each side of a coin has it's own face never seeing the other"
