Wow! I hadn't even noticed you'd posted part B! And then I checked today and there was an update!! Made my day lol(I actually needed the summary and link because I'm rec'ing your story on my journal; I'm using it to create a recommendation list; if you don't want it rec'ed there, let me know I'll take it down! I know some authors don't like their stories to be rec'ed, so I'm just checking lol)
Anyways, we found out a whole lot more about Min; and the interesting part is I find myself making up the same excuses for his actions as Matt does. It wasn't his fault; it's all his employers, etc. and so I really enjoyed how you made Min deny that or at least nuance it: once again, you make it plain things aren't black and white and I think that's definitely one of you strong points with you characters. They're extremely real and layered. Plus, I really enjoyed the direction their conversation took and, although I usually find Matt to be the childish, brash partner in the relationship, I felt he was entirely right when he said Alex wasn't very diplomatic :p
Can't wait to find out more about what's happening/happened to Min! And go Matt for you efforts with self control... you're gonna need them :p
