Oh my heavens, over eight thousand five hundred comments in the last post alone. I feel so tardy and yet I briefly felt compelled to wait until we had over nine thousand, hoohoo~! Oh, even the oldest of memes gets a rise out of my... big and manly heart.

It kills me that Souji and Yosuke seem to have such a functional, even nurturing friendship outside this trolling business; does that mean they're genuinely good for each other, or secretly not? I look forward to learning from you, anon.

(Another thing I wonder: which of them will figure it out first?? I guess logically it would be Souji, but there's some chance that Yosuke will do some fancy IP logging and discover the truth. Depending on who learns when things could play out really differently . . . which is reminding me, for some reason, of magical girl shows and that moment when the magical girl's identity is revealed (to people who hate her and love her persona, or vice versa). And while that may sound like an egregiously lame comparison, I really love those sorts of moments, so I mean it as the highest possible compliment to your fic! <3 <3)

Yosuke's pain feels very real, and it is tough to read about his family situation, in part because of that inconsistent element that's bothering him. It would be one thing if your mom or dad was just tyrannical, but when you have bad moments tempered by strangely kind ones it's so much harder to make sense of things, and to figure out what to do about them.

I feel like my comment is disjointed, but hopefully the engagement and the gratitude come across. I'm loving this so far, and can't wait to see what happens next!

I didn't think your comment was disjointed--I thought it was delightful! :-) Thank you very much! Makes me happy, when someone takes the time to leave such a thoughtful comment. <3 <3 <3

You know, I've never seen one of these "magical girl" shows you're referring to. But I think I get the kind of scenario you're describing. A bit like in a fairy tale, when the princess realises the smelly-tailed rat prince is really her true love, but the rat prince doesn't know she knows, and ditches her royal arse, saying that he could never love the sort of hag who could fall for a rat. Well, yeah--basically, "holy awkward, Batman," with a high potential for "ouch. That hurt." Incoherent comparison for the FAIL!

Glad the family situation is working for you. I figured it would be unlikely that Yosuke's parents would want HIM to be hurt, no matter how angry they were with each other. But at the same time, it would be hard not to take out their frustrations on him, from time to time. Which, from his point of view, would be hard to deal with. :-(

Thank you for reading and commenting! <3 :-)
