oh, yay. i love you, if i haven't said it before already. this is absolutely stunning. your writing style again cuts me up, and... whroar. kind of like a 'roar' with a 'wow'. it's just - every story of yours is sort of detached - it's like i'm there and actually not, like i only watch the scene but also am the character itself. it's weird in a good way.

i love this story. i have my doubts about roxas being real the whole fic through because even whe he 'supported' axel to stand up, we don't see kairi acknowledging him or talking to him. he only talks to axel.

his comment, though... "as real as you are. fucker." kind of makes me think he IS real. i don't know. i don't think you'll clear that up, will you :p? i think the end is... ambiguous. it's kind of like it's real because roxas performs a real action, namely slitting throught the leather straps, but then again, this could also be only axel's imagination and in reality he's in a coma or dead or completely mad - because how could roxas probably be there, coming to live with axel just like that, being in his appartment from one second to the next and standing by axel's side in a psychiatry when axel is bound down to a bed? if he were real, clearly the doctors would've not allowed that.

so i guess rox is unreal. this makes it all the more chilling and fantastic... very well done :)

Light Fantastic. This is so trippy, it kind of screwed my brain up for a few minutes while I stared off into space trying to figure out... whatever it was I was trying to figure out. I forgot. Nvrtheless, this is a really good Akuroku, cos it keeps you wondering whether Roxas is real, even at the end.

I'm not quite sure how this could be so so trippy, yet still make perfect sense to me, but it did. I love this sort of thing! Fantastic.

Yeah, I'm officially stalking you now. Just for your information.

So, this really put me in a great mood, because of the ending. It's not sappy, just... happy. happy in a good way, happy in a bright, not too fluffy or sugary way. Happy in a way you feel when walking in the brisk morning sun.

At first, I was convinced Roxas was just Axel's imagination - I mean, how else could he have just appeared in Axel's apartment and started living there? Of course, he still might be Axel's imagination but that doesn't seem that likely, since he did actually support Axel in front of Kairi. He could've just imagined that, too, though.

Anyways, nice story. I like the way it bends reality, goes into the mind of insanity and comes back pretty much unharmed. And I love the crazy Axel, he's great. Also, points for keeping Kairi a sweet, kind girl and not making her a bitch.

It was great. It flowed really well in a broken way. You set up Roxas and Axel wonderfully. Crazy Axel gives it a really cool dimension.

I loved it. I completely loved it. It was different and skewed and amazing. I only have one question.

What the HELL was Roxas doing in his apartment? o_o

Great idea, great story. The Philip K. Dick is a really nice touch, and I think you've paced it brilliantly.

I only have one comment, in response to your request for error pointings.

Here:
After an agonizing pause, she sighed and said, "Just. Don't make me come up here to see if you're alive, okay? And give me your new key. I'm going to make a copy just in case."
Did you really mean "Just. Don't..."? It reads a bit oddly.
