The Sin was empty and locked down tight, and the girls were gone with the moving truck. They'd left Miho behind to have her last hurrah, but now it was time to go ( Read more... )

This was actually supposed to happen about a month ago, but RL has been crazy and I got clingy even after I made the decision.

This was also supposed to happen after Zero's movie aired, as that was going to be part of the impetus, but my computer has eaten the file that was saved in, so...that might be a while ( Read more... )
