Like a research paper? Nonsense! This reads like a damn good piece of fic should, and makes me rethink the manga and the characters in a really sharp way. I wish I weren't enmeshed in stuff this week because all I really wanted to do when I finished reading it the first time was go back and read it again for the stuff I know I must have missed. ♥

*grins* And you're making me look at my current future-fic project and grimace a lot because it's all shiny-happy-Hollywood mafia and totally doesn't touch on any of the nasty realities of things. *wry* Oh well, I guess.
