This is touching. I'm trying to write this chapter myself, and it is daunting!
I really like that Jecht is momentarily serious when they discuss the beads. When people are generally brash like Jecht, serious moments are made poignant by their rarity.
I feel sorry for the girl. It would probably suck to actually be in love with Auron.
Another great chapter. Look foward to the next.
