Riiiight...
Terra your either unwilling to read what I actually post or unable to comprehend simple words I'm really not sure which. I have never once said that Shinn didn't care about Stellar. All I have said is his actions of passing her off on Neo shows he wasn't willing to take responsability for any of his actions. Shinn has yet to show any remorse at all in the entire series. The closest thing to doing so was when he dumped Stellar in a lake and vowed revenge on freedom. Except Freedom didn't kill her he did.

I believe Shinn saw Stellar as the little sister he had lost before the war and possibly even as a love interest. I believe Stellar was a drugged up psyco who saw Shinn as a big brother trying to protect her. While I also think Stellar had a crush on Neo and saw him as a sort of father figure.

I think Shinn who was unable or unwilling to do what was needed to protect Stellar in turn returned her to her Father figure/boyfriend who she seemed to unconditionally trust and who she was ALWAYS calling for. Shinn had other options he could have attempted the option he choose was to give Stellar to Neo so that he was responsable for taking care of her. If he had ever regretted this action he would have blamed Neo for her death and not Kira. If he had wanted to protect her he would have tried harder to do so instead of how he did it. The only example in Seed that compares is Kira freeing Lacus and giving her to Athrun. The differnce is Lacus had nothing to do with the war at the time she was basically just a civilian pop star and he was giving her to his best friend from elementary school who also happened to be her fiance, because he disagreed with using her as a human shield.

I know I personally if I really cared about someone in that situation wouldn't have given her to someone who might help her. Instead I would try to make sure she got help and see it through until the end. As far as thinking like Shinn does I'm afraid I can't do that as I'm unable to relate to having my parents and siblings killed in front of me in a massive war.
