A very enjoyable Eiji-introspective, with an intrigueing and true-ringing view on Ash. I loved reading this - it brought back everything I was fond of in the manga in a quiet, gentle style that suits Eiji so extremey well.

I really like this musing about Ash's name. It never occurred to me that Dino could've named him, but once you suggest it, it sounds perfect, almost like canon. And the idea of Eiji collecting "Neko" pictures of Ash is adorable. Well done!
