That was really good!
Although, I would of prefered it
as a sequel, but the plot and the idea
and the story as a whole was lovely.
Matsuda, would make the perfect pawn,
the pawn that Light needs for his
plans.
Well, I hope you write more Matsuda fics.

...This story is so complex that I have no words to describe it except, that it's so very, REAL.

There is emotion and perfect charcterization from start to finish, though how you portray Matsuda is really what amazes me, because he's meant to be understated. You do a fabulous job taking a little and making a mountain of a masterpiece.

I think present tense makes absolute sense for an angst piece. It brings you closer to the trauma. The rambling, and falling of track, it's all so intrinsically Matsuda that present tense would be the only way to show off how abrupt the end, and his pain really is.

The scene changes were a little harder to catch and kinda disorienting, but fit the overall flow of a man looking back on all he's done and realizing that it's wrong, he doesn't care, but that he can't do anything about it ever again.

Nice job.

Death-Note has tangled relationships abound, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's insanity under a veneer,

Even though I'm not a huge fan of DN, I loved this. I'll tell you more on MSN :D
