Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I know you've done some great stuff with Quatre's empathy. I've always found it an interesting aspect of his character, too, but tricky to deal with. It can lead to uber-melodrama if you're not careful, so I've tended to stay away from it! I've read some stories where he's essentially telepathic which usually annoys me, so in this one it was interesting to try to show how he might infer very personal information about a person simply from their emotions yet not have him cross the line into actual telepathy.

*grins* I figured the gundam pilots are way beyond average in everything else, they ought to be different here too. Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback!
