Notes: Much thanks to my betas,
aiwritingfic and
harumi, whose advice was invaluable as usual. Betas who think critically and deeply about your story are a find indeed (you can't have mine, nyah nyah).
Summary: Hikaru finally has a long-delayed talk with Sai. How will Sai react? And what will Ogata's reaction be when he learns the truth about Sai's past?
"It was you. *You* were the ghost, Sai!" Shindou cried.
