you are not alone, but I think I'm starting to get a clue after rereading. I hope Twin-Sato and Akira totally make each other fricken miserable. Akira is a piece of crap for how he broke up with Misato. Really, hate him. Hope he gets hit by a car and dies and Twin-Sato moves away and leaves Mei and MIsato alone to love each other. It's so cruel to take someone's lover just to play some game (ie, Twin-Sato starting this ugly thing.)
Im still confused?
