Kasumi smiled again, but it seemed a bit different from her normal vacant.
"Lies fix nothing, Akane. I'm sorry it took one horrible day to make you
realize that."

And with that, the events of the past few months began to make a sudden
chilling sense as Akane realized that someone close to her did a MUCH

better

job of wearing a mask...

****

Yup. Yup. I'm betting we will too... Kasumi's mask slips a few times in the
Manga... Once in the first volume when she's actually *angry* at Genma.
Again in the 'Nabiki is Ranma's fiancee' bit. And little things every now
and then.

As for the rest of the message, Well, I can only say that I agree. And you
said it much more eloquently than I could have managed.
