I'm not ashamed to admit that this story made me cry. The ugly cry too.

But then there's nothing quite as bad as believing for even a moment that you can have someone you've lost back again only to discover it's not true. Somehow it's worse than loosing them in the first place.

Thank you, this is excellently written.

Al.

I wandered around actually looking for Akabane fics. But I found this and could not go without leaving something.

...even if...

very sad, very dark and this is how he would be if he ever lost his best friend.

*hearts*

zan out.

Sweet and so sad!

Make me shiver, congrats

WAH! So sad! 8""("

I cried while reading it! Poor Ginji!

I can TOTALLY see Ginji losing it if he ever lost Ban.

(And for that matter, I can totally see Ban losing it if he ever lost Ginji.)

*bursts into tears*

You rock my socks. :D

ToT - that's a crying face.

this is one of the first GB fanfics I read...don't know why I didn't review before.

Poor Ginji...

Oh my God, this is so SAD! T_T I can feel my heart breaking for Ginji. I can really see this happening if something ever happened to Ban... I love your work, you should write more and more GB fics! _

Geuna

I love the descriptive writing, and this is just such a tragically beautiful piece... Great job! _

Damn. Just. Damn.

Wow.

At first... I wasn't sure where it was going. I knew who the characters were...and then...then I understood...and I was sad... sad. And then...you throw this at me:

And with it tore the sky, and lightning flashed, illuminating the office, and he suddenly remembered where he had heard his patient's name before. No emperor stood before him now, however, just the shadow of a life.

"He said to keep going, but I just don't know how."

The words were quiet, barely a whisper, the speaker too lost to be able to truly find his voice. But under the blond spikes, brown eyes were raised, and for the first time he realized that in all these weeks he had never really looked into those depths before. One had to wonder how anything could be alive, with eyes so dead.

...

and then the rest..

the ending...

...

gah.

...

I am speechless... well... mostly, or I was right after I finished.

You. You are wonderful... I swear, this is exactly what I've been looking for. It's so hard to find Get Backers fiction...well written. Happy, Serious, or Sad... you have it all down.

Please, please continue (not necessarily this one, seeing as it's a one shot), but just more Get Backers fics in general. The places I see you taking it... are infinite and wondrous.

this is simply beautiful. really.

HOW COULD YOU? ;_; wah!
*sniff sniff* but a still a good story *nod nod*
you should write another one, just without the angst.

*blinks* that...hurt. it's short but you can really feel it. you did a really good job with it.

Awesome! Keep on writing!

Oh, it's so sad. It makes me wanna cry.

one word ...
