great work

Loved the theme, and the building of the relationships among the characters. I wanted Nina and Ben to be together forever, but I'm glad someone feels sad about them splitting up. Touching.

Nice job for your first fic. :) Poor Benji and Sam. :( Although, I've got to tell you that the chacaters did seem a bit OOC. Hmm, I think this is the first "friendship" genre Reaper story... Yet again, I have been wrong before. Anyway, good short. :)

Oh! Awesome set-up for the twist. I disagree with CK, I *do* think Sam would put 22 together that fast. He's certainly done it before, especially when he had to figure out how the vessels worked.
