Interestingly enough, both 一 and 六 gave me a very strong sense of déjà vu (in 一, it was that metaphor of the bird and the mountain of sand; and in 六 it was the last line) - which fit pretty well, I thought, in a story about reincarnation and memory.

This was one of my favourites:
It makes things simpler for him, when he decides to kill them all.

There's little problem he sees in getting rid of something that's already dead.

三 and 四 were my favourites for your portrayal of the Mukuro-Ken-Chikusa triumvirate.

Though the last lines of each section are among the best lines in this fic, the last line is my favourite.

I AM A HUGE RETARD I think on second thought I actually flinched the bird story from Good Omens and the problem is when I was writing it and talking to dosage I was all 'WELL WHAT KIND OF BIRD LIVES THAT LONG' 'OH HIBIRD' 'BUT IT KEEPS GROWING' 'OH GOD A MOUNTAIN SIZED HIBIRD' and for the rest of this fic I had the mental image of a MOUNTAIN SIZED HIBIRD FIRMLY FIXED IN MY HEAD. D:

falsdkf though- I'm pretty glad you found 三 and 四 alright. Deciding how to portray the three of them 's pretty hellish (excuse the pun) 'cause it's all 'HOW MUCH DOES HE ACTUALLY CONSIDER THEM TO BE WORTH/WHY DID HE ACTUALLY DRAG THEM ALONG' and- oh god can you tell I was REFERENCING WIKIPEDIA FOR ALL THE BHUDDIST STUFF LIKE CRAZY WHEN WRITING THIS--

hahaha so much caps (:

... your icon amuses me for entirely inappropriate reasons.

... GOOD OMENS?! AHAHAHA is that why I found it so familiar (although Good Omens counts as one of my least-read Books-In-Which-Neil-Gaiman-Made-A-Contribution ever).

for the rest of this fic I had the mental image of a MOUNTAIN SIZED HIBIRD FIRMLY FIXED IN MY HEAD
... well, thanks. Now I have the image of the Mountain-Sized Hibird in my head and, like any mountain, it doesn't appear to be Going Anywhere Anytime Soon.

pretty hellish
HA
'cause it's all 'HOW MUCH DOES HE ACTUALLY CONSIDER THEM TO BE WORTH
But I agree completely, though. It's a hard balance to strike between the THEY WILL BE USEFUL TOOLS/some faint degree of genuinely caring for them.

I wasn't aware of the Wikipedia references, so YOU DID GOOD? ;) But the way I look at it is, it doesn't matter where or who you get your references from, it's what you do with it that counts.

YOU DID GOOD. ;)

I like this icon more lolol all of them come from some random pictures I took some years back on holiday, I think. Various places? That one above was of a beggar in Toulouse, I think.

One day I'm going to DRAW A MOUNTAIN SIZED HIBIRD and see what happens (: And- sldfk I was kind of just reffing this particular page like nobody's business. BUT I'M STILL GLAD YOU LIKED IT HEE. ♥

Very very nice. And different from what I'm used to reading which made this even more refreshing, and enchanting. You've captured Mukuro brilliantly, Chrome too.

Oh man, this was just amazing!
I love your portrayal of his character and how everyone else reacts to him, and even how he reacts to others.

四 was just completely amazing. Despite it being morbid and insanely creepy, it sent pleasant tingles up my spine. Just blew me away.

Uhhhh hahaha thanks? I guess- 四 was kind of fun to write except that originally Ken wasn't in it and I kind of- massively gave up on the ending. I had something cooler in mind but FORGOT WHAT IT WAS TO THE EXTREME or something like that.

Guess it turned out okay though!
