Wahh! I just finished this today and the ending made me cry, and I almost never cry over books or anything. Good drabble, I love Nightmare Inspector: Yumekui Kenbun.

"And that was the most heartbreaking and yet amazing thing of all." I totally agree.

You know...I cried when Hiruko/Chitose disappeared. It was so sad! I must say, I love how you write things. Though they are very short, very good. Maybe you could create just one story for Nightmare Inspector one shots like this. Keep on writing. Oh yeah, and, Hiruko did not die, he momentarily disappeared for eternity! Well, that's what I say...heh.
