A/N: My attempt at writing a fic for NaNoWriMo failed. So to make up for my failure, I wrote another set of 50 sentences.
I decided to challenge myself as well by having each sentence be only dialogue, and as a result I've stretched the limits of "one sentence", as everyone does when writing these things. Heh. Hopefully none are too horribly blatant run-on sentences or anything, and still work as something one person might say as one sentence.
Sentences 38 and 39 pair together, and sentences 41 to 50 are sequential as well. I worry it might be too OOC for MMZ-era Zero, given his stoicism, but when I can I like to imagine an AU where his memories eventually come back, and I feel like if his memories returned, he'd regain his emotions with them.
Well, that's enough of me worrying about this and that with writing. Otherwise I'll never post it. So here goes. Hope you all like it! Sorry NaNo was a bust- I'll try again next year, and hopefully at some point I can post the fic I was trying to write too.
Enjoy!
