You are the first person to EVER comment on this fic in the year since I wrote it, so I am thrilled to death that you liked it! It was fun playing with the fairy universe again, and also having a couple in there that was completely different from what I usually write (given that I am a die/hard Aoi/Kazuki shipper!) I'm especially glad that you liked the ending, that was meant to be a huge twist, since the old man's message was the catalyst for the entire fic. (He was sending him off on a wild goose chase - trying to be like Kai - in order to find what he really wanted and needed). Thank you so much again for commenting!
