I really like writing both of these guys - they're weirdly like aspects of myself at this point.

I have a feeling that if any resolution does take place in the manga, it will be brief and mostly wordless, rather like the scene after Goku fights Kougaiji to save Sanzo in the desert ... you remember, where Sanzo comes out and Goku is just hunched up, cringing, waiting to be admonished for taking off his limiter, and Sanzo finally reaches out and tousles his hair - and then whacks him with the <>harisen.
