@Everyone: Thanks for the kind comments! This is one of the better post-bad ending fics I've read in a while. I particularly like the panicked kiss scene at the end. If the original bad ending screamed "GO AWAY! GO AWAY! GO AWAY!", this screamed "DON'T GO! DON'T GO! DON'T GO!" --...

I'll be doing that big revision soon based on everybody's comments plus a few things I noticed myself. Thanks for all the support and kind words, brythain! I'll check out some of your fanfic soon as well, been meaning to for awhile, just been a busy holiday season

Epilogue Hanako lay on Hisao's bed, flipping through photos on her phone while he snored beside her. It had been a month since she had asked him out. She still flushed when she thought about their public spectacle, embarrassed at all the attention she had generated. But she felt a fierce pride as w...

9 (pt. 2) Hisao stared at Hanako's door, feeling miserable. He didn't want to do this, but it needed to be done. He raised his fist, then knocked gently. A shuffling sound came from inside, and the door promptly opened. Hanako stood inside in her school uniform, staring back at him through the crac...

Thanks!

Haha, thanks. I'm really not very good though, especially with art. It was fun drawing Hanako though. Happy new year to you also!

Drew Hanako tonight for a little practice, since I need it... badly.

9 (pt. 1) The Shanghai was nearly empty, as usual. Yuuko was busily wiping down an empty table in the corner where an older couple had just departed. Rain pattered the window outside, a pleasing backdrop to the dim light filtering in through the windows. Luckily, it hadn't started raining until he'...

Aaand now I'm sad thinking about how Hisao wanted to laugh at her in that scene. What an asshole. To be fair, we are getting bits of his subconscious in there, and you can't always control the POS part of your mind from thinking bad stuff, even if you totally mean well. Yeah, I know. At least he di...

In her own route, Hanako seemed like she was only a bit better than Hisao, and it didn't sound like Hisao had a big chess background or anything, so I doubt she's particularly great at the game. That said, it doesn't sound like Shizune is much of a chess player either. I think Hanako would probably ...

I think the writing for Rin's arc is probably the most beautiful writing in the whole game. Eh, I thought her arc was a bit painful to get through from a reader's standpoint. But, if you look at it from an aesthetical perspective, then hell yes, Rin's arc as a whole contains some of the best writin...

8 Hanako sat on her beanbag in the library, barely paying attention to the book on her lap. Lilly was getting in today from the airport. She'd left Hanako a text message about it last night. They hadn't talked in a week except by text, through the proxy of Lilly's mother, and consequently of unimpo...

7 The rest of the week passed slowly. Hisao had found himself doing more and more reading in his room. At first he'd taken to reading in the library, hoping to see Hanako there. She'd come in a few times to pick up books, but never sat down in her usual corner. He didn't try to approach her when sh...

I'd love to see more fan fiction like this. Oh man, just imagine Rin's inner monologues...

Thanks!

Excellent! This is how I'll picture her from now on.
