Lovely. To think that the vampire loved his beloved Shiki enough to give him a merciful death, then wakes up again and knows where to find him? That's beautiful to me. The last page says everything. Heh--Upon a third time reading this, I found myself listening to a version of "Dear You " (from Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni ) and bawled even harder than the first time. Yeah, definitely don't make my same mistake, fellow reader. It's almost too painful.
