HOLY CRAP

that was definately a twisted but realistic oneshot! IT was powerful and horrible and extremely realistic.

Poor Eiri.

Whew! Very intense. And appalling of course. "I had to believe it was the lesser of two evils" Obviously, Kitazawa's case is extreme, but in many of our choices, we -do- have to choose between the rock and the hard place, sacrificing one thing or the other. So we weave our logic, weigh the pros and cons and decide who/what to hurt when it should be asked, -can- there be a less evil thing when you're deciding between who to hurt? This would make a great jumping board for an ethics discussion. Fascinating take on Kitazawa. You justify it so well I can't really blame him. At all.

Finally! I'm getting to this, only ages after I'd promised to.

It's very chilling (and bitter for the audience), especially Kitazawa's calm acquiescence at the end, as if he wasn't all that suprised by Eiri's desperate choice to kill him, as if he knew he was wrong, had miscalculated, to begin with.

You always choose your words so carefully. "Your fragile dove body pulls away" - I don't think I've ever heard that description of a body before, yet it puts a vivid image in mind. Not just fragile either but "dove," hinting purity, an innocent loveliness. It's clear how Kitazawa views Eiri. And since only the strong can survive, he's determined to beat that weakness into strength, even if he has to taint the loveliness.

wow... that spoke legions to me... it actually made me tear up here... wow, that was amazing, not many writing make me that emotional like that... i guess i touched a personal chord with me too... i had past dealings with this kid of dilemma, my friend had to deal with them, i was on the other side of the spectrum, i guess i just get kinda emoional when looking from the other side, how it was like for them... i will never, forgive them for wat they did to her, but this has given me a better understanding of why they did it in the first place... i dunno... weird how such a short peice can touch a person so deeply... many people have tried to explain his motives to me in the past, but i have turned a deaf ear, that was a form of forgiveness to me... and i didn't want to hear any of that... i still haven't forgiven them, and i probably never will, but i understand now... i understand, its not rite but... i understand... im no longer in the dark, thought i do not see the light in which only her face meeting mine can provide... i am no longer in complete darkness and confusion to wat is going on... and i strangley... want to thank u for this... thank u, u have finally opened my eyes to it... u have opened my eyes when for so long i have squeezed them shut, and i deeply thank u and appreciate it... and maybe, this is the beginning of healing for me... a long process, that i am finally willing to submit to... thank u

Lol wow Kitzawa is a freaky guy, isn't he? Lol and Yoshiki sounds so cute! But I'm confused... the first chapter has Yuki getting shot by Eiri, but in the second chapter, he's alive. Is the second chapter some kind of flashback?
