There are a lot of different links between all these characters, aren't there? They're separated by one or two degrees at most. It's a very interconnected group.

Heehee. Rude off. That's a good word for it. :P

Tank is doing rather well, all things considered, don't you think? His limits are pushed a little further in the second part of this chapter.

It's interesting that you compare those two relationships directly, and you're right - they're not the same. As close as Johnny and Ripp are, there is a significant difference there. (Also, what does "c.c" mean? I'm not familiar with it.)

Thanks for reading! :)
