SQUEEEEEEEE! And it's only gonna get worse... and worse, and worse... gods, I love you! Do I get brownie points for being able to identify the airplane book? And you made Brad cry... Brad... Brad Crawford. Unreal. See? That just proves that you are Lucifer's hellspawn.

You really make us feel not only Aya's pain, but Crawford's (pushing his gift so hard for an answer, determined to help Aya -- but understandably relunctant to face his as well -- also loved his recognition of Yohji by that name, and the reason for it as well), Schuldig's and Yohji's too. I had been anticipating that even with Schuldig's help, Aya would have in essence two sets of memories and difficulty in finding the truth; coupled with unresolved issues with Crawford from before the Arizona trip and his propensity towards feeling guilt, this time for being with Schwarz rather than being there to protect his sister. I had not anticipated the full extent of Pollock's cruelty and the damage he caused. Now I fear even more that Schuldig might feel compelled to carry out his promise and wipe Aya's memory entirely of Schwarz. I hope that a way can be found for Crawford to survive, and Aya's memory of what really happened restored. A happy outcome (not achieved through forced amnesia) is so deserved after all they have been through (I'm also hoping for many more adventures before this story draws to a close). Thank you for the quick updates. I look forward and enjoy each chapter so much; you really brighten my weeks.

'and you kill people for a living?' I can see that straight face delivery too... slays me. And it just may be me but I'm actually feeling really bad for Brad. I don't think that has ever happened. Just the whole weight of being the one to make the hard decisions, everyone trusting you with their lives and having to possibly hurt the ones you care about most... so lonely at the top. and that transition fron 'Brad is a cold hearted dick' to "Awwwww... poor Brad' was so seamless and fluid and sneaky. Good stuff!

I think this story is absolutely wonderful. I love the pacing, the characterization and most especially, the suspense. I always look forward to your updates. They make my day!

Dun dun dun....

whoa! i hope schu and aya will be all right. that
was one gruesome battle they had to go through.
wonderful chapter. can't wait until the next one.

YAY! ANGSTY goodness. And you promise, it'll get worse right? Oh please... crank it up!

this is too good for words. the suspense is killing me.
will their plan work. i wanna know before i explode with
anticipation.

Nice to see Aya back in familiar and hopefully comfortable territory. Reduced to a single thought, a single word with a single focus... he should finally feel right at home! Honestly... I could have taken much more of a gut wretching but I'm not complaining. And Schu getting broken down from so many angles at once. I'm loving that... more than Aya's angsting actually. How did you do that? :D

Wow. You know, I started reading this story, then fell off around chapter 5 because I didn't come to aff.net for a while. I turn around, and Bam! 23 chapters. Nice pace!

I'm a big Brad/Ran fan, and good stories with them are hard to find. I like this one a LOT. And this last cliffhanger...wow. I didn't see the Aya-chan thing coming. Nice surprise, there.
