Oh, Ryouma. You're such a creepy little psychopath. You do a nice job sketching out the slow loss of control over the situation that Kouta experiences--the desperation that drives him to Ryouma, the little steps taken to separate him from his friends, the fear that Ryouma has certainly been painstakingly building up. The ending is both chilling and sad--loved the entire last paragraph. Really, if Ryouma is showing interest in you, you know that you're in trouble. (There's kind of a parallel to Redue in there--two people you really don't want getting fascinated by you.)

Thank you so much for participating in the fic exchange! I hope that you had fun and that you enjoy some of the posts.
