Wow, Akai and Ran huh. I hadn't thought of this pairing before, but you made it work.

Oh gosh I can't believe I found it again (And that you saw my post looking for this)! So I was literally squealing when I saw this fic in the Akai/Ran filter. I'm just so happy. I think it's more than five years since I read this before. I remember liking it so much. And now I'm reminded again why I really like it though it's sad. Thanks so much for posting it again!

I'd forgotten this story. How melancholy. Thank you for posting it again! I love it.
