	A supurb story.  Having Gos as the narrator was precisely the 
right touch.  
	Two things that worried me.  The quote from "Midsummer Night" was 
apt, but it bothered me that Akane should be the one to quote it.  
Somehow it was not in character for her.  Perhaps Nodoka, or the oddly 
missing Nabiki?  Perhaps the good doctor?
	The other thing was the oddity of the treatment of Kodachi at the 
funeral.  She was invited to hold a torch, yet dismissed at the end?  
Didn't ring quite true.  
	The concept, Phoenix and its ultimate meaning, is a stroke of 
genius, and Gos's slow realization is excellent writing.  
	Excuse me, I want to go re-read the story again.
