Thank you so much for your generous words. :) I'm always really concerned - perhaps too much so - with plausibility and realism, so I'm so glad to hear the events themselves came across realistically. And of course in real life it may have been much less depressing and I may just be projecting my own feelings over this entire heartbreaking transfer season into one convenient outlet - but that's what fiction's for, right. :) Thank you again, very much!

Oh, and to answer your last comment, I'm definitely planning on writing him again in some way or another. *ruffles his hair*
