Intentions [Completed]

[Sharp-O]

That's one hell of a story, Seannie! Absolutely gripping and devastating in equal measure. The multiple perspectives, even in third person, worked very effectively!

Thank you all, so, so much for your kind words! When I started out, I wasn't sure if there'd be an audience for such a bleak tale, but I'm very glad that you guys have enjoyed it!

I'm just sorry you couldn't work Rin into the story-- as Emi's closest friend, and as someone with a very different viewpoint on life, she might have been able to provide Emi with a lifeline of some sort. Well, maybe they'll meet up again in the future...

Like you said, a shame Rin and her unique outlook couldn’t get a look in, but understandable, al the moreso considering Hisao is dead before he gets a chance to meet,

Removing Rin from the story was definitely a really hard decision to make. I believe writing Rin well requires a certain level of skill I don't possess- all attempts on my end sounded like I was merely imitating Rin rather than actually writing as her, if that makes sense. I'd rather excise her part of the narrative completely than serve up something half-baked.
