This is one of the angstiest, and at the same time amazing, fics I've ever read.
The first part, the angsty part, just broke my heart.
The way Jun would do anything for Sho, even give up his own soul, is heartbreaking.
The way he cannot bring himself to talking to anybody, just to be nonetheless helped by the ever observant Nino hits so close to the image of Jun we have.
Chibi!Jun was the thing that hurt me the most, how he would just give himself to the boy he admired so much.
How he would lie even to the point of saying that he likes pain, just to be enough for Sho.
As for Sho...I understand the way life could be too much, but what he did was plain wrong.
And even after he apologized, he persevered, ending up hurtin the younger idol even more.
Aiba...Aiba is just the most precious gift to humanity ever...only him could always cheer me up, even when reading a fic like this, where angst is the main ingredient.
Riida is amazing...and the way he deals with Sho got to me.
He's exactly the kind of person who helps the most: he doesn't say/do much, but when he wants to obtain something he just does (be it helping his idiotic band-mate, be it skipping work xD).
One last thing, I loved the way you described Sho's POV at the Junior's reactions to Jun...
If this (I fear not) too long comment didn't get through the message of my love for this fic, I'll say it...I loved it.
This fic is definitely one of my favorites ever, just like others among yours, (expect comments from me for the "A Golden Moon" series, which I'm obsessed with) especially because of your great ability at characterization (your Jun is amazing...and just a few other authors get him just right).

I'm especially happy that you liked the characterisations, because that's what I consider the most important when I'm reading. Thank you for it, and for reading ♥
