   Ranma 1/2: The Trend in Sadness. Part Two. 
   By Scott Baker 

   [ ... ]

   "Akane...., Akane..please." Ranma says.
   "What is it?" Akane asks.
   "Tell me, did I..." Ranma said contemplating on his next words.
   "Tell you what, Ranma?" Akane asked worriedly
   "Do I have any reason to live?" Ranma asks.
   "What?!" Akane asked purely shocked.

   [ various good, although as someone commented, crumpled, stuff. ]

   "Please, just leave me...I have to think about a few things." Ranma said.
   "Sure, Ranma." Akane says as she gets up and leaves.

Wrong!  Akane would truly be just as much of a tomboy as Ranma
sometimes says she is if she were to leave him right at this moment....

	   "Should I end my misery?" 
   "Or do I keep on living with this damn curse?" Ranma thinks.

   -End part two-
   Should he die? Or not?

Well, he's still got Akane, and the rest of the dojo crowd.  And his
most unreconcilble (sp.) curse related problem is now moot (not that
he'd be thinking that rationally at this point)....
