You missed my point about Neo. I used her as an example but it could be others, there is too many characters and a lot of them are there for absolutely nothing at this moment. the whole CFVY team could have been presented later too.

There is not enough time to give justice to each characters. He could have brought them later into the story. That's why we have nothing in 2 volume about some central characters like Ren and Nora
