Cloud to Cloud

Immediately following "The Continuation of War", Kirihara finds himself somewhat disturbed by the day's experiences, and Yukimura offers him reassurance. Porn with Insights, I-4

The lurch as the bus stopped woke Akaya from a half dozing dream that promptly escaped him. All he remembered was that it had involved cutting a tall chain-link fence. And that Fuji had been mixed up in the project. There were really days Akaya wished his subconscious could just send him a memo.

If you do a Kiri arc, I will... well, not be a slave, but a devoted fangirl. He's my current favorite...

I've thought of the matter myself, but from Echizen's standpoint. Next year is gonna be a wash, and the year after? Scary.

Yukimura strikes me as someone who instinctively is perfect at handling interpersonal relationships, so him needing Tezuka hurts my head. Tezuka is awkward, to me. Then again, my Tezuka tends toward antisocial.

*shimmers brilliantly* I'm glad you have further plans, sa!

*bounces* Well, see, it could be so cool, the thing is... *gets control of self again* Ok. Not babbling. The thing is, I see Tezuka and Yukimura coming at people-handling from different ends of the spectrum. Tezuka is... afraid, I think, to be too open, to let his people too close, because if he let go around his team he'd mow them down, and resentment rears its ugly head. So he leads by distant example. At least, that's the reasoning I impute to him. Yukimura, I speculate, leads his personal clutch of psychos precisely by letting go around them, by showing them clearly what he can do and by being pretty open to them; the openness counterbalances any intimidation factor, and it all works out. But if he's not right there, if he's placed at some distance to Kirihara, and isn't his official captain anymore, I'm not sure that openness will be as strong. It will have lost its framework. He'll be forced to lead from a distance, if he still wants to guide Kiri-elf at all, and the best example around of that technique would be Tezuka.

Ok, stopping enthusing, now.
