:D Should I be so happy about making someone cry? Holy wow, Batman... getting that kind of reaction is the best kind of compliment. I'm thrilled.

I always feel awkward writing about people crying, especially for characters that only do so rarely. So I'm really immensely glad that it came through as emotionally powerful and not, like, trite, or something horrible like that. ^_^;;

I'm so glad you're enjoying this so much! Thank you for reading. <3
