If there are still questions open that I can answer (without spoiling the story) feel free to ask. Although it could take a while until I look back in here. Thanks for this very well written feedback~
Thank you for the understanding reply. I'm sorry if I came across at all harsh, I was just reeling from having the rug pulled out from under me on the Hikari / Rumi romance. But as I said, I wouldn't have gotten emotionally affected unless the characters and story were genuinely compelling and if I weren't very much invested in their journey. That is credit to the author, you, for effective storytelling!
I have read the first three chapters of the side story and it hints at some truly beautiful developments that just might allow two lovely soulmates to be reunited and that would make me very happy indeed.
One thing I want to say, don't forget Miru! She's a great character as well, her only problem is the bad luck of following another great character that captured our hearts first. I would be genuinely thrilled to see her meet someone as wonderful as she is and fall in love again, this time with one she can keep. She deserves that, and whoever she might find will be damned lucky to have her. Please keep in mind a happy ending for her if you can make it happen.
Again thanks, for the communication and the enjoyment of experiencing this story.
