I've always enjoyed your fics, and I was overjoyed when I saw that you wrote something for Penguidrum (:

While the fic started out a little slow for me, you really know how to build up, and you got me at the final part when Shoma gave his hoodie to Ringo, arghh. I like you capturing their quirks through their gestures, and the overall mellow-ness of the piece in contrast to how crazy-in-general the series is. Nice work!

Ah, thank you, it's always great to see your reviews on my fic! I didn't know we had this fandom in common! :)

Shoma's tone when he was talking about abandonment and the impossibility of forgiveness in episode 14 really got to me, so I decided to write this before another canon revelation made it utterly impossible. I'm glad you liked the hoodie part too!

This was adorable. I loved the line about stalking being easier than falling in love. Crying!Shouma, and Ringo wearing the hoodie are some of my favorite parts. Great job! :D

Thank you for commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed those parts! :D

(Crying!Shoma was part of my motivation for writing this fic, ahaha.)

Thank you for reading it! :)

Wow, this fic is really impressive; so much of Shouma and Ringo's interaction is based on body language and what they don't say, and I think you've captured that perfectly here. I could totally see them texting as an icebreaker to having that difficult conversation, all the little details feel very natural.

BTW Shouma/Guilt is my OTP now.

Oh, thanks for commenting, I'm glad the body language worked for you!

Shoma/Guilt is quite an intriguing pairing to explore, even though it is already canon. :)

I'm a little late but this was excellent. I hope the series will do something half as good.

And I am really happy to see some Shouma/Ringo fanfiction. It's one of my favorite things about the series and certainly my favorite relationship!
