Ouch... that chat session was the most frightening thing I've read
in some time.
I read IMBS at seven this morning, right after getting up. One
phrase stayed with me all day: "It rippled and rushed up at
her.." That's the kind of phrase that should make an author happy
for weeks.
My questions about Ranma's true motivations remain unanswered even
now... but they are probably moot as this death is _very_ unlikely to be
the last.
My strongest reaction to Nabiki's death is that Ranma now cannot
ever, ever be redeemed.
One other thing, I get the feeling that Akane's reaction to
that last sparring session will be pivotal.
I continue to believe that, if the "good guys" win at all, they will
do so through Akane's actions. If she doesn't turn against him, I
don't think Ranma will ever be stopped.
