Don't apologize for talking my ear off! I have only just begun to sink into this world, and it saddens me to be coming to it years after most people have moved on. I certainly don't mind being friended. I love pondering things like this.
I think you're right about the denial. Both Lulu and Auron make a certain amount of noise about "It's over! It's done with! Useless to dwell on the past!" yet they are clearly shaped by theirs; if Auron weren't still obsessed over his he wouldn't even be around. Lulu's laughter on the Farplane, when she says, "I don't know what I'm saying," seems to me to be the first time that she really [i]does[/i] put Chappu behind her.
