this is nice!

Very good. I like the twist with Aoko's mom having cancer.

That was beautiful.

I've read it once before (though I forgot to review) but even the second time it brought tears to my eyes.

yer gonna make me cry! *snif*

You weren't messing around when you said keep the hanky handy. I didn't even realize they were a ghost until the end. Very sweet, man, I'm teary.

hmm, very intersting

Okay, you have far too few reviews for how wonderful this story is! I love the idea of Toichi stealing her pain for a brief time. It looks like he may have even hypnotized her a bit to get her to sleep there, which is a nice touch and completely in keeping with his skills as a magician. The whole thing is just adds up so perfectly to 1412.

Toichi in general doesn't have enough screen time, I think, so I'm thrilled beyond words that you gave him some!

I did not cry... but beautifully written.

I teared up a bit.
