The cat died of old age. The mother died from... illness and abandonment/sadness/neglect.

I certainly didn't think much of it until after just finishing it.

I think that too. What I can't decide on is whether Casval would kill Char to do it.

Also, Casval using his Red Comet voice can get weird at times. That's a voice of someone with insight and experience (or we we've been accustomed to). Using the same one for a Casval who is still fluctuating is off (just like keeping Goku's DB voice in DBZ+).

I can only imagine that the VA couldn't pull off a convincingly younger version.
