Very dark and well written!

Cold indeed, but once again we are reminded that their world is not the comic relief of the series. These men live a life not easily maneuvered by many.

One might almost feel sorry for the THRUSHie. Almost.

oooh, Shivers. Well done.

Very scary to have him as an enemy

I think Napoleon gets a pass on this too.

They know each other so well. Napoleon's choice of and epitaph so befitting his character, and let's hope it won't be used for a very long time.

Such a sad contemplation for Napoleon.

Oh this was gorgeous, and what and inspiration; the haikus of Buson. Brilliant.

Had to backtrack to read this one. I'm afraid I've fallen behind on this series. Even though this sort of gives away the events of the other story, I'm still looking forward to you fleshing out the details. This chapter as excellent.

He did the only thing he could do ... meted out justice.

I believe he passed.

He had no choice - to save hus friend and an innocent child. Of course, he wouldn't allow such brutality to go on when he had the power to stop it, and we know Illya would've done the same! Give the man a pass.

Personally, I'd have given him a passing grade for that.

I think he'll get a pass on that one.
