*punches air* There goes Iwaki, being too good to be true again. :-)

There goes Yoshizumi, being too perceptive for comfort. :-)

The rest of you boys all need to be swatted, hard. Boy is it fun watching you all squirm. (I think my favorite line may be Onozuka's "Hmm...maybe Katou was smarter than he looked, after all.") But seriously, it's fun getting to see the different characters interpret what has happened from their different perspectives/biases - and also to enjoy how loving and settled Iwaki and Katou have become with each other, especially in comparison with the others.

(And now I need a break from all that intensity, so I think I'm going to go reread the scene where Kenzaki receives the Shisa. :) )

And nothing drives Onozuka up the wall more than a perfect Iwaki! ~_^

Haha, they definitely do need to be swatted! I even wanted to swat Onozuka a few times while I was writing this, much as I adore him. It's interesting that you singled out that line about Katou, since I was just thinking that Onozuka probably underestimates everyone except Onozuka. (And maybe overestimates his own cleverness a bit.) Which in turn made me remember something that Red said once, that even though she loves my stories, she doesn't like Onozuka as a person very much.

Anyway, glad you liked it, and it was fun writing about the incident from the different characters' POVs, so I'm glad that worked for you.

Heh, I kinda feel that way about Dee quite a bit. (As does everyone else in the precinct, Ryo included.) Though I think that's also why your stories work so well for me -- because you don't put any of characters on a pedestal, but it's never in doubt that you're sympathetic to and/or amused by them.
