So pretty! Who knew that 178 words could say so very much? Moral subjectivity is always a theme worth emphasising, at any rate - and you do it so effortlessly.

Oh my... oh my oh my...

This was, just beautiful you know? I mean I kind of feel just by reviewing I'm stealing some of the magic you manage to weave into words. You leave me so in awe, it's... nyaww~ I have no words to describe it.

My favorite parts might have either been the bit where he was "content with his newspaper-print vision."

And then it goes into to describe gold and purple, it's just pure art! It just makes Bakura seem... I don't even know, almost like God, if that makes sense. So powerful, just the way we like em! Or something like that. (:

And of course - who couldn't love the last line?

That was pretty awesome. Just artfully condensed, and, as another reviewer put it, economical.

I love economical.

Short, sweet, and I love it.

Bakura is so black and white. Between his host's hair and skin and everything, his life lacks a lot of color. And Marik...he's tan and gold and yellow and brightbright purple and this story is so short but I love everything about it.

And the last line? Too fucking perfect. I've always seen Marik as like...this golden commodity that Bakura wants so badly because he's a thief n shit 3 Lovely.

Even though this is so short, I loved it. (Though I usually love all of your works. xD)

I am seriously obsessed with your latest thiefshipping stuff. This one was especially interesting because there wasn't any dialog, so in a way it was a character study of Bakura. You have such an ingenious, economical way with words. I like the idea that Bakura has a rigid, concrete viewpoint on the world (I mean, who wouldn't after 3000 years in solitary confinement?) and Malik breaks the mold. I think I might be mixing my metaphors back there, but whatever. This is awesome!
