Vince,

After reading this, I came out of it with two things to say:

1.  As always, it was beautifully written, and kept me interested

to

the end.

Well, that's something.  :)  Thanks!

You're welcome!

2.  I can't accept the Kasumi/Taro matchup.  At least not yet.  It
seemed to come out of the blue, without enough reason to make me

want

to accept it.  I think this part of the chapter needs work, or
expansion, or something!  Kasumi wanting not to be alone isn't
enough...

Well, neither I nor they have accepted it, either; it's just a

possibility

at this point.  That said, what about the matchup is implausible to

you?

What are the most important reasons that Kasumi has to reject Taro,

and

vice-versa? Do I need to stress that Kasumi finds Taro physically
attractive, or show that there are aspects of his personality and

behavior

she finds interesting?

I could see that she found him attractive.  I don't think that's
enough.  He's always rude, nasty, and makes a mess of the house.  He
kidnapped Akane.

Kasumi is a sweet, dear, forgiving person, but this is asking a little
too much!

It's difficult to picture Kasumi being attracted to a
less-than-pleasant person.
