This is unbelievably good. Mind-blowingly good. It broke my heart in ten different ways and I know it will never be completely fixed because there's no way we're ever getting Nathan back. Not really.

Nathan/Sylar's mental anguish is written very powerfully and you made my head hurt thinking about all of the realism vs surrealism in his life. Well done.

Bennet's "I'm sorry." was succinct and perfect.

Peter's reaction to Nathan/Sylar is what I hope will happen on the show but ultimately feel like I'll be let down.

This is going straight to memories.
Thanks for posting it.
