Hi!

	Got around to reading this a little late... still one of the 
better alternate histories out there.  It's amazing how well both your 
writings merge -- at least, I can't tell where one stops and the other 
picks up (unless it happens at those nifty blinky faces...).  And somehow 
you manage to mix in some oddly funny comedy in the middle of all this
grim stuff... nice touch.
	Anyway, you mentioned at the end that your cowriter was a bit 
unsure about the ending scenes.  I think I agree.  The scene 
between Ranma and Nabiki was a perfectly good and horrifying scene... but 
it kinda ruins the mystery that you had so perfectly maintained up till 
then.  There was always some ambiguity over whether Ranma was really the 
full-blown psycho he seemed to be; sure, the Hibiki's said he was, but 
they're obviously not the most reliable of sources.  Was Akane seeing 
bits of the true Ranma, or just a clever act?
	That near-rape scene, however, pretty much gives it away.  Now we 
know he really _is_ a psychotic violent sadistic rapist murderer... and 
the story seems to lose something with that explicit revelation.  To me, 
anyway...

	Either way, looking forward to seeing the next chapter...

	-Mike
