i disagree, but there are a lot of authors out there who portray Kasumi as
  either "Queen Prozac", demented, or somewhat lacking in brains. i 
  portrayed her as being spiritual, not concerned about the ephemeral
  physical world, or perhaps distracted by her own inner demons. A well
  crafted story forgives many things, but don't you prefer the stories 
  where the characters ring to your own personal views?
