Aww. I really feel for both of them here. And I love this part that's so insightful: "He's become the secret identity. He's all Clark Kent and no Superman."

I love that line about Clark Kent and Superman. Then the end of it was so sad. Damn that Takezo Kensei! Lovely little fic.

I told him the truth. Overly sentimental but I said that I always thought of him as my hero.

"You must never idolize heroes," he told me. "For they will always let you down."

Oh, my gosh, this was lovely-- short, but very powerful. I love the idea of Ando being the one to push Hiro to use his powers, to think of himself as a hero. Poor Hiro! Listen to Ando!

Oh, wow, so sad!
