Eeeh. This is haunting and lovely and heartbreaking and so true to Kira. It really makes me root for him, but it's also a good ending where it is. I really like your stuff. :3

Thank you so much! I've always found Kira to be kind of tragic, and I wanted an excuse to both show that and show how he could slowly work his way out of it. XD Unfortunately, slow is the key word, sooo. I'm glad you enjoyed though. ♥

Wow... it's not every day you find such a lovely fic.

Your characterization of Kira was perfect and I've always loved the idea of an unrequited sort of thing with Hinamori. It's sad that he doesn't exactly have a fanbase, but stuff like this really reminds me why I adore him so. :3

Thanks for writing this - I'll definitely keep an eye out for your stuff in the future!

It is pretty sad that Kira doesn't get any love as a character. I think his quandary is really interesting, so it was fun to explore it, and I love his little unrequited crush on Hinamori because I'm a bad person and enjoy it when characters don't get what they want. I'm glad you liked exploring it as much as I did. XD

Thank you very much. I don't think change is easy for Kira, especially when it was such a painful journey to get where he is now, and he has such a long journey to get back... But I like the thought that Wabisuke would prod him down the road until he can bear it. XD
