C: A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

Subaru/Seishirou. It's one thing that "grown man flirting with sixteen year old boy who is clearly uncomfortable about it" is fifty degrees of skeevy. It's another that said grown man is a sociopath who appointed said sixteen year old as his romantic interest when said sixteen year old was like nine, and also doesn't remember it, or that it happened with the other party cradling the body of some girl he just killed.

The problem isn't that Subaru falls in love with the persona Seishirou projects in Tokyo Babylon. That tragedy is a quintessential part of the story, and I love it for what it is there. But I'll never, ever, want the two of them to be together, and it pisses me off that X seemingly tried to establish them as some kind of star-crossed romance. We've seen their AU versions in Tsubasa, and Seishirou was still an evil stalker and Subaru Sumeragi deserves so, so, so much better.

So thanks to a conversation on Fandomsecrets, I realised something extremely important.

Veterinary medicine was obviously not the branch of medicine that Seishirou Sakurazuka should have pursued.
