Great story and ending. I really enjoyed it. I can only imagine what Yuri would be like if he found out about Johnny and Jeanne :p

awesome story. on of the best i have ever read. keep it up

I like the story its very thouroughly detailed and youre staying true to the characters thats hard sometimes. My only disapointment is that it seems like johnny will not end up with shania but ultimately a great story.

... okay, why didn't they simply take the train to Aberystwyth? There is a train ya know. XD

A couple of items.
"tetoller" is incorrect. Correct spelling is teetotaler. I know, annoying isn't it?
Also, Prohibition was begun in 1919, becoming law in 1920. It was a gradual thing that eventually smacked most Americans in the face. The Democratic party ran a repeal during the 1932 elections and the law was repealed on December 5, 1933. To blame a "Protestent group in Kansas" is really to do an historical injustice. For one thing, not all the prohibitionists were Protestant. The most famous Carrie Nation was a baptist if I remember right. In either case, Christian women's groups, notably the WTCU moved for the amendment but equally women's groups such as WONPR, the Women’s’ Legion for True Temperance, soon renamed the Women’s Organization for National Prohibition Reform (my god what a mouthful!) worked just as diligently to repeal the amendment.

Anyway, history lesson concluded. :)

All in all a nice chapter. I personally am not a fan of the 3rd and last installment of Shadow Hearts. They did rush the game, mostly to attempt to recoup losses from over-expendatures with SH II. Pity, as it had a lot of potential. However, many gamers do like it. Oh well.

I wonder what Shania is doing while Johnny is flirting with Alice Mk.II? And I wonder if Johnny's resolve will waver when he finally sees Shania? Keep writing so I can answer those questions. Also, you made my day by making Lenny dance! Well played!

This is my sad face. I can't believe that you actually managed to make me believe a repentant Lenny. Well played. By the way, does Jeanne know that she was named after the original Jeanne from SH2?

I loved your previous works and I hope that you continue this one! Also...old Yuri is old!

i really like this story. good job.
