Well, no, I don't think I'd call them righteous now, but even Minami (for all I know of the guy) probably started from a place of wanting to keep people safe. The Minami story isn't a million miles away from the Houjou storyline from the middle of Agito, where you've got someone who's so convinced, they are so sure, their thoughts like oil, black and pure (whoops those are Superchunk lyrics), and they can't see this new lifeform as anything but a threat. I don't agree with that guy, but I think we've all seen people so afraid of the future that they'd risk destroying the present.

Maybe not public, but she's been in plenty of situations where she's been scared of people learning that she's an Orphnoch, and had to reaffirm her humanity.

Also, she doesn't know that the cops are following one guy. Team Orphnoch as a whole seems pretty scared that this is humanity as a whole that's marked them for death.

Just that be prepared because most of those are in the not working part, in contrast to this thread.

I mean, that's all just my opinion. It's great if folks find some value in it, or agree with it, but I'm no more "right" about Faiz than someone who hates it. I'm cool talking about it if people want to, in other threads, but I'm not going to swoop into any post where someone slags it off to say UM ACTUALLY. I'd rather let people have their own journey with Kamen Rider.
