Narrative Gaps are an inevitability. No story can ever see full completion. The effort to write and read such a thing staggers the mind, and even if someone undertook this endeavor, not every answer is available. Creators of a work choose a focus on different levels and stay for the most part with that. Elfen Lied focuses mainly on about ten to twelve major characters, and only on five or six of those in the main. Most actions occur in three or four locations, with two of those seeing the vast bulk of the scenes. Kamakura, Japan, is the center of this universe. While the struggle against the Diclonius in Belgium or British Columbia might make for an excellent story, such will never be the focus of this series. Invariably, an answer provided by even the most comprehensive work may only open

  • Narrative Gaps are an inevitability. No story can ever see full completion. The effort to write and read such a thing staggers the mind, and even if someone undertook this endeavor, not every answer is available. Creators of a work choose a focus on different levels and stay for the most part with that. Elfen Lied focuses mainly on about ten to twelve major characters, and only on five or six of those in the main. Most actions occur in three or four locations, with two of those seeing the vast bulk of the scenes. Kamakura, Japan, is the center of this universe. While the struggle against the Diclonius in Belgium or British Columbia might make for an excellent story, such will never be the focus of this series. Invariably, an answer provided by even the most comprehensive work may only open up more questions, perhaps even much more. This limit is to say nothing of the answers that dissatisfy those taking in that work. A decision must occur about who, what, when, where, why and how, and at the root of the word decision is the Latin word for 'To Cut.' Stories are not bad or weak for having narrative gaps. However, usually proceeding in an inverse to the passion for the series, such a gap, if not directly explained or addressed in series, can be badly distracting, diminishing affection for the piece or increasing intense dislike. For this article, a narrative gap is an unknown, a plot hole, inconsistency or something that truly does not fit into the story because of other conditions of the fictional universe as stated or implied in the series. Some things are plainly not narrative gaps. A wish that a character had met a different fate is an opinion. That we don't learn the fates of people like the Bakery or Crepes Merchant is just something the story chose not to cover, and their and other similar characters' fates do not change the outcome or the future history of that world. The actual fate of Aiko Takada or Nana's possible connection to Number 3 do fall in here, but must be shown with broad qualifiers, and are more fan controversies than narrative gaps, and in any event are fully covered elsewhere. Explanations for these things can be extrapolated or guessed at, some much more quickly than others. What will be noted here is a lack of directly stated information. Items placed in here as narrative gaps must meet a high if flexible standard and are subject to user scrutiny: As the Good Doctors are apt to say, Spoilers!
