"Is it so strange to long for an artificial life?"
Something about that line gets me. I just... I just don't know. It's giving me the feeling of my skin trembling but its not goosebumps.

This, in entirety, makes the silence hum.

very well done

Firstly, just to get it out there, I love the title of this fic. Secondly, I love the way you start with something specific, simple almost, as Aelita's thoughts on breathing, and slowly expand out to the deep, emotional ties she still has with Lyoko. And then the way you end it, it's like after all of her contemplation, Aelita's being reminded that, no matter what she feels about her two homes, she's on earth now, and she's just left with her memories. It's all so very brilliant.

Really is Good. Short, but the Flow of it is almost like a poem... :)

Incredibly insightful and brilliantly written. An interesting take on what Aelita could have been feeling at the end of it all. :)

Interesting. I really liked some points you touched on, like how you compared the real world to the world of Lyoko, and how Aelita wasn't adjusted to Earth, and she didn't think she would be. Also, how She isn't sure which one his here home, or who she really is. Good job.

Still as gorgeous and introspective as when I first read it. Fantastic work, please keep going with stuff!

P.S. This new review character counting system is annoying like no one's business.
