And we leave things unresolved, which isn't a bad place for Natalie. In fact, I find the acquitition of a name to be a significant leap forward in embracing identity. She is also clearly moving away pure observer, in fact she has already abandoned that course in the diner.

If I may argue with you over your own character, which is highly presumptuous on my part, I don't believe Dustin is through becoming yet either. There is the makings of more than an opportunitic punk there.

I do love that Joel, the ordinary guy, is the one that stirred new purpose in Natalie. Rebecca remains an idiot with an obsession, making her far to easy to manipulate. This is the second time, that we know of, that she has endangered others in her fruitless quest.

I wonder if Natalie will tickle your mind sometime in the future?

As to having too many people in the opening, looks like you had exactly the number you needed. :)
