This is very very good...
The whole atmosphere and the feeling it gives me are... I was about to say wonderful but thats wrong 'cause it's really sad but you get the point.
I really feel for Genma.
It goes to my favourites-list.
Arigatou!
Poor Genma... thank you for writing this, I read Scarlet Spiral and am currently reading Fallen Leaves, so I was glad to see a follow up to the even in SS.
Can't think of much to say for this one... but Genma's characterisation is very plausible for the events that occured, and helped the story along brilliantly.
