Am I the only anti-Venat person who likes G'raha? D:

Is it not just human nature? Even in real life I'm going to be fond of people who treat me warmly. Why would I not love a character who refers to me as their "new old friend" or another who went behind the Convocation's back to create a memory crystal for my original incarnation that he carried with him for millennia? Conversely, despite Venat's fascination with the WoL in Elpis, I think people too easily forget that she deliberately inflicted harm upon Azem and under no circumstances will I ever believe Azem consented to being sundered.

I can understand being put off by the hero worship, like I said it makes you wonder if G'raha would like us if we weren't the WoL (although someone mentioned he liked us during the CT raids when he was unaware of our exploits). Unfortunately, I'll never understand Haurchefant not only due to being subjected to the western revision but because his archetype isn't one we're used to in the west that I've heard is popular in Japan.
