You take offence at Hitomi trying to live a lie, and trying to
make YOU believe IN that lie... yet suicide doesn't offend you? Somehow
suicide is more morally _right_ than what Hitomi tried?

	I can't judge. Never really could. Which is why, I suppose, I've
kept the .38. It's dissasembled right now and can't be fired... but I'm
beginning to wonder if that was a mistake.

It wasn't a mistake. You were right to disassemble that weapon; I'm very
glad you didn't use it. We'd be feeling the loss for a good long while if
you did, and in ways neither you nor I can't even imagine.

I think that everyone's in a state of mild shock at this revelation. We'll
get past it. The image of an author who is well-respected has suddenly been
turned upside-down and inside-out. No matter how you look at it, it's going
to knock people for a loop.

This is a knee-jerk phase of a big paradigm change, and some people react
by getting mad. Okay, maybe I *am* a little mad, but in a way, I find all
of this funny. You got to hand it to Hitomi, she fooled us but good! :)

If and when we reestablish contact, some people will rant and rave, but
that will pass. In a way, it shows that we really _do_ care about her. If
we didn't, no one would be making a big fuss, ne?

Tell Hitomi-chan to come back, and tell her the Wyrm sent ya.

After all, we got fanfics to write! ^_-
