Reading progress update: I've read 66 out of 200 pages.

Poor baby Nai, so sweet and helpful and earnest. Even being told to go away doesn't make him flinch - he just does it, because he knows it's what Karoku wants. My poor darling. Come here, Nai, let me snuggle you. Everything'll be okay.
Karoku, love, please don't be so hard on Nai? Please? And please get better - I hate it when you're hurting. And worse, when you're hurting and you can't/won't admit it. *cries*
Dang it, Karoku......
