Wow, that was a sad story...but it was good, and probably true...I like your take on it. Please keep on writing! Thanks!

I liked this; it's so sad. You've captured Rin very well here. I'm sure she just did that to practice saying the words she didn't want to. Very nice job.

We like excessive use of "she." That's what "she" was invented for. To prevent excessive use of "Rin."

Well, it'd be about noon in South African time, right...? So you can technically still use the jet lag excuse on me.

"You had to be beautiful" makes me think of "why do you dress like that" and tentative title of "Pretty." Plot plot plot.

That'll definately teach you not to ask questions...

Mirror!

Waah... that's so sad! If I were a crying person, I would cry. As it is, I just go, "Wah... Rin... huggle..." So you have done wonderful job of writing this. Especially for 4 in the morning.

Uwa~ah! Katia-chan hits the decks! Bring me a hose, this girl is on FIRE. [...Poseidon is playing. So sorry. For the expression, not the sentiment.]

Ah, I've missed this... and such a perfect compliment to "Image."

Mm. Well, you know I love it beyond all reason and restraint. It gives me shivers it's so good... especially the last half. The beginning bit is all perfect set-up, a beautiful metaphor artfully styled in the hands of a master. But the second half is a complete and utter punch in the chest.

Ah, and now I look back over again... "So she got better." I don't know. Ooh. It just all builds up so wonderfully, with that line, and the practicing, and... Yers. Everything. So perfect.

So yes. It's all wonderful. My favorite part remainds the practicing, which should have been melodramatic and just... really, really isn't.

Hugs. So many hugs.

Oh ouch It must have been so hard to say all that all the while lying through her teeth it really must have been just as hard for her to say that as well as for Haru to have heard it good thing he never gives up on her huh?
