Yeah, and in your fic Kagura is really quite unsympathetic with Gintoki, I think she understands the whole problem with Gin-san's past even less because she is an Amanto. Shinpachi can at least relate to some aspects of Gin-san's experience because Shinpachi had problems with Amanto in the past.

True, I wonder why exactly is Takasugi the one with the worst mental scars... I wonder if Sorachi-sensei will ever show more about that. I'm not even sure I want, it will probably be incredibly sad.

I really admire Katsura - he stays true to his ideals even in a world that has no place for samurai anymore... Lol, I actually think he is adorably silly, not a complete moron XDD

Thank you for writing, it was a great fic, and it had really deep themes.
