Characters - Kyle
And here's Kyle, the only one out of the Freedert-Eliot-Kyle trio that DOESN'T appear in "Ice and Snow"... cos "Ice and Snow" isn't the original story, as later discovered by Kosuke.
Kyle grew up with Freedert and Eliot, and ended up harboring a secret love for Freedert when the other two had already confessed their love for each other. That more or less made Kyle bitter enough to pray for Eliot's death so he can have a chance to win Freedert's heart and, well, that all ended in tragedy. @_@ And afterwards Kyle fled from his town, wrote his entire story in a book titled "Ice and Dark", and then committed suicide.
Yeah, well, your best friend's murder wouldn't really do wonders for your mental health. >_>
At any rate, Kyle's original story was then censored and edited during the Cultural Revolution into a more family-safe version that the DN cast now know as "Ice and Snow". And that's that, I guess.
