There was an article at some point during the hiatus where it was mentioned that K&H had been in contact with Eion regarding August’s role for season 2. Even if they have him acting with dubious intentions, that’s not dumping all over the character. It’s keeping in character, because Pinocchio isn’t supposed to be a well behaved, trustworthy boy all the time. Having him act questionably makes me like him more, I’m intrigued to find out all the details of his story, and I’m drawn into his angst. I look forward to seeing how he attempts to redeem himself for his mistakes, and reunite with his father.
