Thank you! I'm clearly a visual type and can't even write if no images occur to me that I could put into words -- I'm always glad to hear when it works! >////<
I'm sure that something as dire as what Yuui went through will take a lot of time to heal... normalcy will probably always be a bit off. It's not as though his tendencies to forsake himself only awakened once Fai died, it was only the one thing that drove him to his breaking point and made him fully give in to the self-destruction that he carried inside, anyway.
I do think that, in the end, Kurogane was incredibly important to pull Yuui out of his delusions -- but I also think that Yuui might have stopped pretending much earlier, if it hadn't been for Kurogane. I think that, being left alone, Yuui might have stopped inflicting all this pain on himself, run away from Fai's life, and start being himself, again. But the catharsis that came with all the pain, the cleansing of standing at the edge of killing himself and realising that it wasn't what he wanted -- I think that that might have been the thing he had to go through to change his mind, for good.
In the end, I honestly don't know if it was good for Fai to meet Kurogane or not. He made some things worse and other things better. >__<
Again, thank you, I'm glad to hear this story could evoke! Even if it were so very dark feelings, it evoked. XD'
