Warnings: You should all know the drill by now… AU; set in the mid 80’s in a slightly bastardized Kabukichō district. Very graphic violence, strong course language, character death, drug use and prostitution references, adult themes and sex scenes… oh, and Ruki is a badass!

okay, you don't even know how damn embarrassed i am right now about my previous comments up there... i considered deleting them, but after all they are pretty hilarious so let them be. or at least that's what they are to me, so feel free to blast them to the bit space if you want to - i really don't know what kind of genious idea was to come and comment when i'm so drunk that i can't see forward...

but about the chapter now that i'm sober and have nothing else to do than stress about the university entrance exam that'll take place tomorrow. i really liked it - probably one of my favorite parts by far, after the second chapter that is. it was very interesting, showed two scenes that were (when talking about the setting) as far apart from each others as they could be. and both worked so damn well.

i loved wataru's little scene with the coffee and how you brought it up later, too. i have no idea if nero is a jrocker or own character, but he surely was interesting! i can see why wataru didn't trust him, 'cause there indeed was something stinky about him. i'm really looking forward to hear more about nero and his part in this whole soup. (and gotta mention that i find it goddamn amusing that in finnish the word "nero" means genious...)

and hazuki - what can i say, i think i just fell in love. he was pure awesome - if he was the one who "will beat wataru's awesome" as you said some chapters ago, i truly believe that. amazing character, very intriguing occupation and bob was actually pretty disgusting guy. i can see why hazuki doesn't really like him even though trusts him. wonderful that you brought a fourth narrative to the story; hazuki gives it a whole new depth.

so, again sorry for my drunk-ass comments up there and thank you for the chapter. cheers, hun!

OMG. So like, you officially win the prize for best drunken comments ever. Not to mention that the icon seemed to say more than the words themselves! Don't ask me to understand what you said in the first two, but I shall always look at them fondly and go 'hehe, yeah'.

I am glad that you got the significance of the different settings. I had to rearrange time frames to get that in.

Wataru and the coffee was really random. It was me just typing and hoping that something would come out while in the middle of a bit of a block. Nero, while awesome, is actually the drummer of Merry... the poster for the next chapter is Nero.

Good! Everyone needs to fall in love with the Hazuki muse! And yes, it is Hazuki who will kick Wataru off his high awesome throne. And somehow Hazuki manages to set a whole new standard for awesome, along with one of his supporting characters of course. Every hero needs a sidekick.

I am so glad that everyone likes the fourth narrative. I was a bit nervous about it - especially since not many people know Hazuki/lynch. - but so far so good. I just hope it all works the way I see it in my head.

No need to apologize for the drunken comments. They were funny. Thanks again for your comment(s) and hope your hangover wasn't too bad...
