Author's Comments:

Personally, I think this story started off too slow. In the end, though, it turned out pretty well. :)

Review by Starsea 2006-07-08

How very sad and bitter, but compelling reading none the less. The fact it's so plausible is part of what makes it compelling; Usagi did it once, what's to stop her doing it again? A chilling little 'what if' story.
Review by ruminant 2006-01-23

This story shows a woman who is crippled both physically as well as emotionally. Minako's character is handled wonderfully. Her emotions are true. She is in mourning for the life, the future, she has lost.

I wonder about Usagi not visiting before though. Did she feel guilty? Is that why she didn't visit?

Oh, and you made me get all teary eyed. ;)
