There's an ache in you put there by the ache in me.

Real talk, I dig the headcanon that Kanae was the previous victor and chose being a princess versus saving Anthy.
Does she regret her choices?
Does she know in secret, that path damned her fate?
How close did she get to Anthy?
Did she break a piece of her shell, only to have it resealed when Kanae chose Akio?
What was her life? The ailing father, the adulturous mother. The pressures of being the daughter of the headmaster. Was it easier to just give in when it all came crashing down?
