It's clearly not as pronounced as his past references, but the fact that Elan has the best grip on how things are supposed to be makes sense with him seeing through an illusion because the story is off. I mean, Roy is very intelligent, and he should have seen through things (like ignoring Elan's father's evil empire). But, no, it's Elan, since he has the best meta grip on the Narrative. I just meant that it's basically the same vein, to me.I think if this were the case, then certain things would've bugged the other characters. Like Roy not working on the evil empire, for example. But, he doesn't even notice until Elan points it out. And to me, it's because Elan has traditionally had a better view outside of the world he lives in. If it was purely an inside view, I can only assume he'd be even more stuck than Roy, since he's sometimes very oblivious of stuff that's going on. Again, though, just an assumption, based on what I've read in the past.I don't think he was ever going to really pursue this, so I don't really think it matters much, but we'll see. If this marks some sort of character turn for a harder Elan, then I'll be pretty happy about the illusion, and won't consider it a "pointless" sidetrack at all. We'll see, though. Rich has done a good job with character advancement and growth before, so there's potential for it, but based on the last panel, I'm not betting on it. It currently sounds more like a "we promised you illusions, so have an illusion" than "important character growth", but it is the joke panel, so I'm not going to condemn it yet.At any rate, I'm just saying why it feels this way to me. Like I said, looks like most others have enjoyed it, and I'm glad.</blockquote>
