I don't understand what's going on because I don't know this story and I didn't want to spoil myself since I want to check it out, but it sounds interesting!

Its interesting that you say that Pandol is an undignified name since 藤原 Fujiwara was the name of the most powerful noble family in the Heian era, and the fact that its a personally important name to me was why this post caught my eye. From what I can understand, this characterization sounds fitting at least to me, since the Heian nobles were honestly pretty awful from what I know of them.

Sorry if this isn't really all that relevant ^^;;
