This presents a problem with Kasumi being true to canon, I can see
her trying to ignore the symptoms, but when Ukyou comes in and
actively asks why she's swearing at her, I think she would probably
give her an answer. The side effects of the medications I read
about do at least tailor rather well with the traditional portrayal
of Kasumi, though :) Aside from the fact that none are completely
successful in inhibiting the TS.
The intention in the story is that Kasumi is either oblivious to what
she's saying, or is so embarrassed about it that she can't possibly
admit it, perhaps not even to herself. I had hoped that people would
accept this for the sake of comedy, but maybe this is a problem. I'll
have to think about it and see if maybe there's some other way of
handling that part of the fic.
At any rate, it was an interesting story, and though some of the
humor fell flat for me, other parts of it, such as the confusion near
the end about Ukyou and the disease were rather amusing. If you could
manage to avoid the issue of Ukyou learning that Kasumi has Tourette's
Syndrome a little differently, I think it would come off rather well.
Thanks very much for the comments.
