*loves* Good job with the angst, it really was perfectly balanced. What I call 'gratuitious character torture' annoys me, but true-life angst with a purpose and a means of... I don't know, redemption, helps really bring the story to life.

And yes, being a Hunter or part-somthing that everyone fears and distrusts is totally real-life angst. ^_^

I look forward to reading the sequel!!!
