Yeah. Short and sweet but it really packs a punch. Those last few lines...You captured the moment so well. Keep writing!

God, I really love the way you write. Short and sweet, yet incredibly...I don't know. Goes right through me. No complaints here. I love your writings, I love this, and it's all your fault, so far, why I'm such a shipper for HXJ these days. And I thank you for that.^_^ Go on and write more...please? I'll be waiting!

wow. this is by far one of the greatest hao/jeanne stories i've ever read. their relationship is a complicated one but you presented it simply with such depth and meaning. he would miss her, but he didn't know why and how exactly. that's just so hao. and i love the last line. there's so many ways and meanings to that line.
i love this, i truly do. and you do know that it is because of you - and masquerade - that i've become a hao/jeanne supporter? ^_^

So very pretty - it's amazing the kind of story a talented writer can tell in just so many words. I enjoyed muchly.
Next time you should post this to your LJ, to make sure I don't miss it, si? ^_~

So beautiful. *weeps* Lovely prose; I love the diction.

Glorious description as always. It's hard to picture Hao as an old man but it's easy for Jeanne because she appears to be just a weak albino girl. It's very truthful that (besides Yoh) Jeanne seems to be the only one Hao identifies with and I think he will miss her as a lover. God, I idolize your way with words and writing style Memphis Lupine.
