Awww, this was one of my personal favorites in the challenge! XD Seriously, I even voted for it and everything. ♥ Knowing how both of us feel about DoC, I am honestly impressed you wrote about it (but, then again, you do say Shelke and Shalua are the only two characters you can stand in the game, lolz). I really enjoyed this piece though despite my "can't stand DoC" mindset! I think you captured Shelke's character really well (and yay for mentioning Red XIII since he was really lacking in DoC itself!), and I think you showcased the relationship between her and Shalua awesomely in a subtle way (which is hard to do in a fic like this!). It was very sweet. Great job, sis! I'm really glad you decided to de-anon. :)

"Shalua Rui" cannot read my words or respond to them anymore.
~...Okay, can I just say this might be one of my favorite lines from any fan fic I've ever read? I think this line alone was what cemented this fic as one of my favorites in the challenge. It is really amazing and captures all of the odd feelings Shelke has about writing to her deceased sister. Excellent work! ♥
