Richard Lawson wrote a story with soul.

thats the description I have been trying to find. 
 

	My candle burns at both ends;
	It will not last the night;
	But, ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--
	It gives a lovely light!

		Edna St. Vincent Millay

and this poem is too perfect for the story, man, Im starting cry 
again just thinking about it. 

Questions of existance and humanity are always knotty.. but Natsume
Atsuko as you have depicted her is more human... more _humane_ than 99%
of the worlds population.  

now this describes some of the feeling you get when reading it, if 
you havent Im telling you right now read it, first read his other 
nuku nuku stories but then read this one, it is in my mind the best 
story I have read all year. Thank you Richard.
