I'm not sure Hisao would go along with it. He's not that insensitive.

Well, in Shizune's path he starts to become this way. After all he doesn't interfere when Shizune crushes Hanako while playing chess either.

Good point.

I think Misha let Hanako fend for herself for much too long before interfering... That was my take as well. I was thinking "Look what they did? You're the one who threw her to the wolves, Misha!" And while I can see Shizune pushing Hanako like that I'm not sure Hisao would go along with i...

Well, was this supposed to be a One-Shot or the Prologue to something more? Could really be either, and I enjoyed it either way. On the one hand I'm tempted to write more. On the other, I'm tempted to leave it as it is. On the gripping hand, I'm also tempted to excise the KS elements and write it u...

Damn, man. I wound up tearing up while reading this. Only other story that's done that recently is Doomish's story "Some Nights". Seems the bittersweet ones are the ones that really get to me!

Nice work.

After some thought I think I've figured out why I dislike the ending; I had trouble with the notion that Hanako would suggest surrogacy, and then follow it up with "oh by the way, I totally betrayed your trust in a moment of extreme selfishness." Quite apart from questions of whether that ...

Well i have to say he might be the anti Doomish i have been looking for to read a uplifting story after reading one of Doomish's fics. Now now. Braving the Storm is getting to be positively saccharine in its sweetness! :lol: On topic, I don't mind the ending but it seems a bit backwards to me. I wo...

I suppose that's one way of looking at it, sure. Though not a very useful one, since Sho's intentions during Reconciliation were so fucking obvious that this fic was the natural conclusion. Don't get me wrong, I want a Lilly/Hanako pairing as much as the next guy. But given the setup here it just w...

Glad to hear that it rang true. I wrote the letter and was surprised at how condescending and harsh it sounded, myself, but I decided to leave it that way and justify it from Hisao's point of view instead. I think it's consistent with how he feels about Iwanako. The harshness of it is maybe a bit o...

Yeah, I predict a busy future for Hanako. Most people have their hands full with their own kids, but she'll be having kids for Lilly and Hisao as well! Bet she never saw that coming in her early days at Yamaku.

So, let's see: Shizune has it bad for Hisao, and was hurt when he yelled at her as a result; Misha's confused, because on the one hand she's protective of Shizune and on the other she's jealous of her feelings for Hisao; Saki's just plain mean; Hisao's clueless as usual. I'm still rooting for a good...

On the other hand, because they've accepted this, I feel they actually have good prospects in the longer term. I've seen a lot of relationship fails because one (or both) partner put idealistic faery-tale-love expectation on the relationship. Someone like Hisao at the end of Rin route, going for it...

You know what? After giving it some thought I changed it back. I don't like the other ending. This ending is unlikely but after poking around on the internet a bit, it seems like what happens is unlikely but not impossible. And it's just a better ending. It really isn't fair for me to change it aft...

Yeah... Well, let's just say I don't quite agree on that. I can see that it's hard for untrained people to find a pulse in stressful situations, but if they try , they at least have a chance to find it. Well, yes, but they have a chance of missing it as well, which is why the ARC dropped the check ...

Great chapter! I like how you wove the letter into your story. (And I'm curious if themocaw will do the same for his Saki-story...) About the CPR... Well, Hollywood got away with the myth that CPR can restart a heart often enough, so you can as well ;-) Well, he technically never said her heart sto...

Agreed. Both have turned into engaging characters in their own right. It's a shame the game never did anything with them, but these stories are a nice substitute!
