Sucks that everyone was so dumb and the plan never worked, though.

Oh wow I just had an epiphany. For all the thought they put into the plot and for the apparent intelligence their characters supposedly possess, they're all apparently just stupid s***s.

I also notice that for all the 'never give up' and 'believe in the future' stuff they put in you can't help but notice it being riddled with undertones of death and despair. Like it would actually kill them to make their characters optimistic and change the world by strength of character. Because following the 'rules' are so important.

Yeah I'm bitter about CLAMP.
