Hm, I've always associated Blue as a more feminine name, even if it's just a color and mostly-gender neutral. I guess it's because the original name of the girl in PokeSpe was Blue, and the Nick Jr character... plus the fact that I had a friend in HS who went by the alias of Blue in cosplaying circles. Plus, I always think of him as having green eyes, so that's kind of awkward isn't it? haha.

Well, as for why Red disappears ... you'll have to see. ;D But everyone is oddly blasé about it, aren't they?
