Thank you very much, writing in a stream of consciousness style was somewhat unfamiliar writing after two years of chronic writing block was unfamiliar also, so I felt a little nervous. Glad that you liked the fic, and all the love is due entirely to Kame and Bem, who deserve all the love in the world <3

Kudos to you for writing this fic. My reply may get a bit long so

I can't even explain how I like what you've written. Any reply is love, but you seem to understand exactly what I wanted to convey!! And this is, like, double, triple love and a happy dance! (My answer may get as long as your review, so be afraid, lol)))

I liked how you translated the situation with Kame coming off what was filmed into our normal situation, but it's also the other way round as well - when we read a book, we get to know the inner thoughts of the characters as well, but when one reads a script or a theatrical play, there are only the lines that the characters speak and what they do (and Bem even didn't get that many lines, and forgive me my scepticism - most of them is the "movie message" he has to convey being the titular character and all), so for an actor to give him an emotion, I think Kame had to try to figure how Bem's mind works, and why he does what he does

all their hearts, in fact, are a mesh of scar tissue

...ouch D: I love your style, your words are immensely sharp and cutting, and in a way that it hurts, effectively, to hear Bem's voice in this. sdfghjhgf great finish! Write more *__*

I hope I do not dissapoint you with whatever I write next - stylewise, since I am not always as "sharp and cutting", it's all the YNB fault - it somehow hurt me, effectively, despite me having many grudges against the plot, and the directing, and that manga thing of endlessly repeating the "message" ad nauseam(um?), can't remember the right spelling and some other actors/actresses *coughAnnecough*, but somehow in the end - the drama and specifically Kame as Bem so unbiased here managed to hurt so beautifully and intensely and... (can't find any other word) CLEANLY(?) ...that this kind of style was, like, the only option? Still glad it's liked XD

I'm glad you liked it! While I wrote I feared so much that my characterization of Kame in this was way off, but I tried)))
