Well, this was disturbing. My heart plunged into my stomach after
reading "It's been ten years now...."
I almost wish you'd left it at that. That would have been a powerful
story; as you said, just because they profess love for each other
doesn't mean it's a happy ending. Ranma doesn't have to die, but his
absence without any communication is just the same, and the agony of not
knowing is worse than the agony of mourning.
Once Ranma and Akane have their relationship straightened out, if
Ranma wants to search for a cure, wouldn't it be possible, and in character,
that Akane might ask to come with him?
