:good dramatic visual opening. captivating.
:conversation between mai and john needs work.  personally i think it comes off as cliche because blackwater doesn't see it coming -- and this should be obvious to him, as it is to the reader, by mai dragging him from his burning car and bandaging him.
::[[User:AF|AF]]
:Why, I'd say he ''does'' see it coming... He acknowledges Konoko's mercy early on, and the dialogue is basically him being ''curious'' about her ''reasons''.

:the grieve reference intrigues me, but this scene has to be pivotal by nature of it's function (enlightening konoko).
:What I'd like you to do is "bracket" this scene -- the nature of kon's grudge against blackwater, what she does next, their previous experiences together, all relevant related info.
::[[User:AF|AF]]
:That "bracketing" is what wiki nodes are all about. Anything that calls for further development (here, for instance, Konoko's encounter with Grieve) gets a new page, to which we link from here.

:Other questions -- she saves his life, he's important to her, yet she walks away.  Why?  She has nothing left, doesn't she?
::[[User:AF|AF]]
:''cf'' her monologue. Note that it ends on a ''question''.

:Lastly, blackwater becomes a big loose end if you leave him alive. You'll need to resolve that.
::[[User:AF|AF]]
:Yes, he does become a loose end. No, we don't have to resolve it. Think different. ^^

;Every time I look at my reflection...
:Ever went past two glass/mirror panes meeting at a right angle? You're basically passing another you.
:Not a mirrored one; one rotated by 180° and headed in a direction opposite to yours. Looking at you... And then... nothing.
:Looking at that "passer-by" is really different from looking in a mirror. Just a few thoughts... Multiple reflection are hell to render accurately.
:But a Konoko who's "passing herself" on her way out of the compound (during the monologue) is quite appealing, IMO. It's about missed opportunities...
