Oh, wow, that was really powerful. The idea that the release of the curse, and the loss of connection with Akito, means that Ritsu is truly alone for the first time is a really good, strangely moving one.

& on a lighter note, I think you got Ritsu and his mother's relationship spot on. It's exactly as I'd always imagined they'd be like togther :D

that is incredibly vivid writing and I like how you interpreted the manga and gave it word form without losing any of the imagery.
