He is still the evil bastard he always was, and as more of this story unfolds, more turns are twisted and dots are connected, the story becomes about much more than simply Yugo and his seemingly brainwashed captive. But, Yugo hasn't just become a better man with romance on the brain. Yugo is now determined to have Kuon by his side once again though in a slightly different capacity than before - he wants him there willingly. This installment is a bit different in that much more time passes and the direction changes quite a bit. Meanwhile, Yugo, not faring much better with his feelings for Kuon, finally steps back into his life. Two years have passed since his time with Yugo when Kuon is injured on a mission leaving him blind. With little regard for what his life has become, he enlists in the military where he quickly gains the reputation as a loose cannon. This is to say nothing of his issues regarding Yugo. So, Kuon goes back to his old life but is at a complete loss as to how to integrate himself back into it, how to simply reappear at work, how to explain everything, etc. In this installment, Yugo has set Kuon 'free' as it sinks in that Kuon would rather take his own life than think about being with Yugo (regardless of their crazy relationship). Quite a few twists happen, but they are just the beginning. 4.5 stars - Thank goodness, this story picks up right where the previous one left off, and we don't have to wait very long to get the details of what actually happened.
