Last night I dreamt that u posted this up. What a premonition. Totally didn't expect the contents though!

I thought this is a refreshing take on the tale; yes, it's not pontianak... but somehow the idea of the husband taking revenge for his wife's unjustified death kept the lady's innocence.

At first I was wondering how Ohno chose his victim, and why did these men die? But I guess, anyone with a maniac interest of lusting love doll in gravid form could be sick enough to hurt his Shoko. The thought of Aiba being one of them is rather... interesting (hey, you got all-member in this fic! I love u for it). I also like the way you had J as someone who... while he's doing his job as the one to investigate the crimes, a part of him also supports the criminal's motive; however distorted. That small inkling of his own past showing at the very end of his scene was so perfectly placed, I feel.

and my heart self-clutches at the final part; how everything seemed so normal, how they had been un-knowing; the two of them showing affections like it was a normal day before THAT happened. It's so heart-wrenching that it made me think that perhaps what Ohno and Nino did were totally justified.

RIP, Shoko Ohno-san.
