What exactly would be considered sudden at this point for you, I mean think about all though not out right put forth, when a female character with long hair gets some major development, after being on of those characters that were scared all the time, you can sort of predict that she was going to cut her hair, also having her hair cut half way from her fight with Ezel, would hint to a hair cut. Its not out fourth with it, but it is sort of hinted.
