Well, if we do, we hafta get P-kitty to restrain herself from glomping him or else he'll turn into a seahorse. It might not be a bad idea, especially since I already have Kureno with us, technically... in my closet.Don't worry about him. He's kinda cute, but he's not really my type. Besides, I got enough on my plate right now! Now, it we're talking about teh guy who turns into a cat . . . . . . . . . .

*dries Rain's sleeve* "Sorry, I just seem to get overly emotional at times. Just ask Homura."Rain hands me a handkerchief. I take it gratefully. Machika just shakes her head. BTW--Homura has taken to always having a box of kleenex "handy"--just in case...!

To continue on with teh "beheading"..... I found this whole scene EXTREMELY tense [as I suppose most EVERYONE did!] It also says SO MUCH with so few words-- First, where Rain says he's USED to being treated that way just TEARS my Heart--NO ONE should EVER hafta "get used to" something like THAT, no matter WHO they are!!! And he seems so "weary of spirit", as if he just can't get himself to care anymore........ Perhaps, he just sympathized with those people who saw him as a solution to THEIR pain--they weren't "bad" people, per se, just desperate--or perhaps he just HOPED it would "end" if Machika removed his head, too tired and discouraged by it all to even TRY to get away or think about it too closely......perhaps he was even "testing" Machika, wondering if she would "betray" him in teh end.................................. I think Rain WAS feeling teh futility of his overlong life, because of his response to Machika's question of why he DIDN'T try to run-- "Can I run away? If I run.....You'd follow me again..." Of course, Machika CAN'T do it--she's starting to CARE about her "prey" too much..... I also really liked teh scene just after this, when she and Rain watch teh falling star shower [with Ayla listening below], and Machika asks Rain what HE would wish for [WHY does it make me so sad that he's SURPRISED because no one ELSE ever asked him that?]-- "....I'd want to be human again...............I want to die." Such heart-rending words, especially since so many people think they WANT what he would GLADLY "give away"......if he could..... Incidently, I really HOPE Machika has a LOT of strength in those skinny lil' arms, as WELL as a VERY sharp scythe, otherwise things coulda' been.........."icky".....[Remember "Nearly-Headless Nick" from teh "Harry Potter" books? *Eww!*]

That's explored even more in teh second book (which you need to try and get if you have teh chance, it's one of my faves). And it's so sad that all Rain wants to do is be able to die, and Machika's getting to a point where she doesn't want him to, even though it's something that, at this point, she wouldn't admit to herself yet.

And NOW for some "funny bits"! [Before we move on into teh NEXT "serious" moment....] FIRST, there's that whole "distraction" routine, where Rain gets up on teh rooftop and LOUDLY PROCLAIMS his presence, in a "Come and Get Me" manner that's HILARIOUS!!! Makes it sound like some sorta' detergent commercial, too, like, "Buy NOW, before it's GONE!"--and THEN he falls OFF of teh roof! [Way-ta' GO, Doofus! "Impress" people, why don't-cha'!?] And I LO-VE this moment when he makes teh mistake of calling Kiki "Bunny-ears".....*snork* It's even funnier considering that all this silliness up in teh tree is occurring at teh SAME time things are getting serious again down below--and Rain's yelp of, "Let GO! You Beast, you!" makes me laugh every time! Excuse me, Sir--but do you realize you have a bunny-cat "attached" to yer' arm...? [Is it just me, or did anyone else think that Rain's remark about "losing his head" had a double meaning? As in "losing" his head to LO-VE!?]
