Wow. I like fics like that - well-thought out, intersting and about NEWS. ;)

[sashjun]

thanks for that assessment ♥ and for reading and commenting!

Brilliant.
Nice setting and quite an adventure!

And even when the ending is a bit open, it's just a matter of time for Shige to get over his denial.

An interesting read, thanks for sharing!

[sashjun]

ah thank you so much for your nice words! ♥ I hope Shige will be able to learn how his emotions work soon again ;D

I have to admit that while I was vastly intrigued by the concept, I was somewhat skeptical whether it could be pulled off well in a fic. However, this was excellently done. The story was interesting, read nicely, and felt complete. It was also sort of subtle and understated, which was surprisingly refreshing.

[sashjun]

no big action blockbuster, huh ;D.

I used to do subtle time to time in the past, I´m glad this one felt like that, in the end that is much more my thing than explosive happening or emotions.

♥ thank you so much!

[sashjun]

oh really, wha I was a bit scared of the comparison. Thank you for still finishing this and leaving me such a nice comment. Food for thought. and just maybe I should try and watch the movie now. I did not want to before finishing this to not get influenced.

[sashjun]

lol lol you did and I love it . . .

ehm this is a very weird place to ask, but I´ve seen you around, on my fic comm too. and we commented a few times and IDK I just felt like asking. friends?

You wrote this just based on the trailer? Amazing! And I love how Shige tried to cope with losing his soul by actually trying to imitate emotions using logic. Lovely work!

[sashjun]

have you seen the movie, because I still hasn´t . . . but I heard that Paul Giamatti actually "carried" someone else´s soul around as opposed to being soulless. Anyway thank youuuuuuuuuu ♥

[zheinpathos]

I have! There was a period where he didn't have a soul :)
