I would like to congratulate the *other* authors of CS for 
restraining Mr. Loader in his portayal of Akari.

*smirk* Restrain? 'smore like, "So Mike, do you want to make this a whole
series of killings or just one?"
 

Yes, I did read what happened to her here.

But with Mike Loader writing AKARI, it could have been much,
*much* worse.

Sean! You make it sound like I'm some demented anti-Akari fiend out to
kill her as many times as possible!

Very perceptive of you. ;)

Seriously, though, in a very real way the scene is fairly kind to Akari.
Quick, clean death, and we get to see that she's settled down to a happy
life in a certain other universe that'll remain nameless for now
*coughtpohcough*. If anything, Muhoshin is the one to feel sorry for,
having just had the sum total of his alternate's years with Akari slammed
into his mind as he killed her. Ain't chronal radiation a bitch?

So cheer up, Sean. I freely admit to not liking Akari much. But look what
I tend to do to characters I _do_ like, such as Muhoshin and Kasumi. ;)

Thank you again.

Cool! Does that make me the Anti-Gaff? ;)
