I personally I like to see to 2 different ending to this fanfic if it was
possible. 1) Where no wants to see or willing to see Ranma's side of
things and will probably end up having a very dark ending; and 2) Where
everyone FINALLY sees Ranma sides of things and force some compassion into
their hearts especially the Queen of the Bitches, Akane. ^_^

	Well, there's no chance of number one happening.  I'm not a big
fan of 'dark' fics: that is, stories that have there terribly nihilistic
endings where everything just goes wrong.  Not that I think a story needs
a 'happy' ending, and I don't know if I'll have one myself -- but no mass
suicide, either.
	(I have to admit I'm surprised at how many people seem to think
Ranma oughta just kill himself... gah.)
	As for two... well, we'll see.  Although I don't think compassion
can be 'forced'.  But now that Ranma has developped a bit of a backbone...
maybe people'll take an extra moment to consider his side.  <shrug>  Heck,
I dunno, I'm just makin' this up as I go along.

	Later!
