Yes, I curse a lot when I'm happy. Deal with this. XD

This is the first KH2 fic I've read in a while that I've actually read, taken the time to read every word and absorb it--and it's fantastic. I'm extremely jealous of the way you can describe battle, not just the mechanics of it, but the way it's nearly the only thing Cloud knows how to relate to. You've shown that Cloud's having conflict with himself, while he's having more unspoken conflict with Leon, while he's having physical conflict with these monsters. And it never seems messy and confusing!

I like the way that every bit of the story seems plausible. Every feeling and thought Cloud has towards other people or during battle is just so real, like the description of his adrenaline, or 'tighter the thin, desperation-generated relations that formed the Restoration Committee in the first place.' The game never really reveals anything about the back story of the Restoration Committee, and we get this idea that everyone is so happy and working towards a greater thing---and they are, it's just, it can't be as hopeful as we think.

So, anyway, it's an understatement to say that I'm looking forward to the next part. :)

P.S., the fact that you used the phrase 'everybody and their mom' makes the whole thing that much better. I laughed so hard.

Thank you very, very, VERY much. I mean it. I was slightly insecure about the amount of battle scenes and their format, so it makes me extremely happy to know they came out properly. ^^~ I have this tendency of meshing thought and feeling with action, and I was afraid it might become confusing during battle.

Again, thanks a bunch, and I hope to post the next part pretty soon.
BTW, well, "everybody and their mom" is something that I say regularly. It's part of my usual pattern of speech. XD
