This. Mello. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Damn but I love a good zombie apocalypse story. It was such a well-developed little world, too. *happy sigh*

Argh. Heartbreaking.

Koyama scoffs. "You really think we're so stupid that we'd fall for that? Where are your comrades? Are they coming from behind?"
Much like this. The idea of Koyama ending up being like this hurts. :(

"What are you doing?" Shige snaps, and Koyama replies, "I'm not letting either of you fall behind."

*wibbles*

He sees his nephews in all of them
I may have teared up. A lot. I loved the ending. <3 Such a great job. Thank you so much.
