Wow, that's an honestly thoughtful and wonderful review. I wrote this piece after reading something by Hemingway. He taught me that you can convey a lot through dialogue and seemingly mundane descriptions.
If this is depressing, it's because I -- for once -- didn't want to write something that was overly fluffy or romantic (most of my stories end up being happy or hopeful - and I sometimes grow sick of that).
I love your interpretation here -- I was trying to convey exactly that. I, perhaps, added too much negativity in this fic, since Vienna isn't really that awful. But then, I thought that Sasuke, being in the state he is, would only notice the negative, not the positive. He'd completely shut himself out from that.
I'm glad you picked up those little details and analysed them. I've often noticed that -- when one's in pain or refuses to accept something -- that it's common for person to occupy their hands with something or to seek security anywhere possible.
I'll definitely have to go through this again, but I'm still very emotional for this and don't think I could find anything at the moment. I'll need a little distance. I'll fix this line -- because you're absolutely right. I didn't consider it while writing. I'll pick either "shrine" or "temple" since this really sounds more Japanese.
Thank you for this awesome, thoughtful and lovely review (I swear, it's better written than my fic!).
