Wow, I already had thought that Matthew couldn't see his own numbers (due to you saying they couldn't be reflected in the beginning), but his reflections on the topic were extremely powerful. I love your writing style, and though I would love to read a full story based on this from you, it was beautiful as is. Thanks for writing this!

I cried like a baby when I was reading this. Good part: Crying made me feel better. Bad part: I was in the middle of class just checking out some fanfiction.

I started to tear up towards the end and i'm sure if you added more i'd bawl my eyes out. It was a good story but really sad and i'm glad Alfred got to live for the both of them :) I have to say through out the whole story I was like damn it death note why do you have to haunt me!

I sat in my bedroom for a good five, ten minutes just saying "nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope" in a an attempt to stop myself from crying. It did not work. My heart broke into thousands of tiny little pieces reading this. Last time mt heart broke into this many pieces i was reading The Magic Stone (really good fanfic totally recommend it, i don't remember the author though... but it was really good). That puts this fic in my like top like 2 or so.
On a totally different and random topic i went to your page to make sure that i wasn't recommending your own story to you (like seriously same sadness as the author that wrote The Magic Stone) and i was like "Oh. My. God. She wrote Start Over! No way in hell!" looks at bio. "Oh. My. God. She is Canadian! That explains why she is so god damn awesome!"
Ok random topic over. This was really good. I loved it to pieces! Keep on writing!

You made me cry. Like "I need a tissue stat!" type of crying. With the shortness of breath and the horrible aching feeling in your heart and that fan yourself even though it's not working thing. I'm sad.

It was a beautiful story, wonderful and I love the way you have with words, it's amazing. The whole thing was heart breaking and you knew somewhere deep down inside your gut that it wasn't going to end as happily as you want it to but still... you read it and love it and then you wonder why you are crying... *sniffles* Great story!

So sad... But so amazing. I loved this story!

Omfg, the feels are back...

OMG! The feels!

Aww, that was so sweet, yet very sad! A bittersweet ending, but I really liked it. Wonderful job! :')

Wow, this almost reminds me of Death Note...the numbers thing, but I thinks its a pretty cool thing to have, yet a very heavy burden. I'm glad that Matt saved Alfred though...

Um, yeah, it was a nice read!

Mattie no... T-T that was a beautiful story!

OMG NOT MATTIE! I like the concept of giving Matthew the general concept of shinigami eyes (see: Death note), minus the names, it's interesting, but- WHY KILL MATTIE! NOOOOOO

It's such a good concept! IT'S SO SAD D':
-TC ;)

Composing... Myself... That killed, no pun intended. Crazy idea, very sad, thanks for a great read.

Well that was pretty sad... but also very good.
It kind of reminded me of the movie "In Time" in a way...
