I just want to say I love the story, but the end... well it kind of
sucked. couldn't you keep the other personnalitys alive in end? I like
Shade! don't kill him, or merge with Ramma.

But the other personalities aren't _real_.  They're just Ranma acting
differently in different situations.

No matter how cute or entertaining the other personalities seem, in the
end they're just symptoms of a sickness.  Ranma can't really be in any
way considered well or healthy until they're gone.

To tell the truth, I always found "A Stained Glass Mind" to be kind of
depressing.  The Ranma in it is just as sick and twisted as the Ranma

>from "Ill Met by Starlight".  I kept hoping that once Ranma felt safe

enough with the Tendos, he'd lose the need to pretend to be different
things in order to deal with the outside world and just be able to be
himself again.

i believe you are missing the whole point here.  This is a work of fiction, the real laws of life typically do not apply.  Ignoreing what works in real live is what makes stories interesting.  And PRETEND to be diferent?  You missed the entire point of the story.  The point was that he DID have other personalities, it wasnt just one person acting diferently...
in closeing i would like to say:  put on your glasses, you are obviously not seeing this story clearly.


later
