I'm honestly really surprised that this turned out to be such a bait-&-switch for people. But it's kinda fun to realize I pulled off the "a-ha" moment without really thinking about it.

As for who Neal is? He's one of the two gloriously gorgeous male lead characters in the USA series White Collar, which is my other main active fandom right now and one of the best shows I've ever seen. I highly recommend it to everyone. ::nods::
