This was so good!
It was emotional and really subtle and clever!
I absolutely loved it!

This was AMAZING! I'm crying of happy tears~! No seriously, I need a doctor. It's so ridiculous how you can get so attached to people who aren't real. It really hurts inside, but as himiko, maki, and shuichi did, we must stay strong! Never give in to despair!

This is a perfect little in-between for Himiko’s scenes post trial and early 4. I loved everything, from her missing how Angie and Tenko wake her up to being enraged that they died for a stupid reason to the detail of her thinking the cauldron in Kiyo’s execution was now ruined. And of course, the Oumeno was spot on; I ship it so I’m biased, but really, that was a funny and cute exchange while still being entirely in-character. Kokichi, why didn’t you just let it end at being surprised by her thanks, you little shit? XD

And then it cuts to the survivors flipping through everyone’s belongings ;_; and then those last fee paragraphs? Kokichi teasing her post-mortem about not denying him being ‘devilishly handsome’? Himiko’s nostalgic reaction? And boy I never thought “degenerate” would sound so affectionate. My feels were in a huge knot.

Wow. I don't know what to say. That ending was perfect. It nearly brought me to tears. Kokichi's line from the book was funny and cute and Himiko's line hearkening back to Tenko was so moving. And I love the pairing so I enjoyed this even more. :) Of course, you wrote Himiko and Kokichi so well in-character, which must be hard to do especially Kokichi.

I don't know how you did it, but I feel the writing has topped the last chapter from your other fic. Which is amazing. Case in point: your great analogy of the bile in her throat being like a slimy toad. Great! So on point.

I loved this little fic. It'll be near to my heart for a long time. Thanks for the Christmas present!
