Yes!  A new KOR fic!  Hopefully, the first of many.  It was nice to see
more of Akane, an underappreciated character.

  A question for the KOR-cognoscenti.  In the manga and the TV series, in
which episodes did Kyosuke and Hikaru kiss?  I'm more familiar with the
OAVs and the movie where it seems that Kyosuke and Hikaru just kissed that
one time in the movie.  

  Is Akane in character?  She is normally rather self-centered.  Her
altruism and honest advice to Madoka seem somewhat OOC.  Does she still
believe that Hikaru should be matched with Kyosuke?  

  I'm afraid that I didn't understand the full significance of Madoka
drowning in the dream.  Did it represent her slipping into despair or
depression?  

  I look forward to seeing more KOR stories from you.
