Aww, thank you! ♥♥ I do know what you mean about the emotions, too. It wouldn't be nearly the same experience if we were relatively detached. :)

Yes, I was really pleased to write that snippet because I could practice non-fluff some more while still knowing there would be a happy ending.

Despite Jin being gone it was a really good experience that I'll always be fond of. ♥
