Yea and the fact that "papas" affection wasnt even directed at her in the end was kinda sad..
There is also a kinda episode with all of them around the table in the aftermath and stuff. I think it eases our sorrows about the whole thing.

i belive that it was the same for the other Diclonius that grew up with humans... i know for sure, if ppls did that 2 me just because i had horns, and i had that kinda power... i think i would've done the same, i would feel so hopeless and i would have no idea what to do, but evry time a human was like threating me as a monster i would be reminded what i went through...
I think evry single human would've snapped eventually and done the same as lucy and the rest of the Diclonius (if they ware in the Diclonius shoes)

Its true that they go through a lot etc etc. Still it would take a lot for someone to kill someone, if they have any morals whatsoever about killing.
The fact is that they ARE natural born killers. It is stated plenty of times. I also agree with you however and the fact that it seems they have been given no reason not to hate humans.
The simple thing is that other Diclonii have killed since they started growing their vectors. Some have even killed their parents. So even though Lucy went through a bad time and so did Nana, others didn't and they still killed without a second thought.
We see the story mostly through Lucy's point of view though and her hurt and how she develops feelings and care, despite being a natural born killer. That is what Elfen Lied is about. The absence and power of Love.
