Running Away To You (A Post Lilly-Neutral Story) (Updated 15/3/23)

[StealthyWolf]

Really enjoyed this update! Always love to see the main couple interact with others outside of their relationship, and Akira definitely needs more interactions with people.

You've done a great job emphasizing just how shitty Akira's life has been up to this point. She goes from a "probably" semi-normal childhood to raising basically having to give up her life to raise her sister after her parents abandoned her, then just as things start to feel stable again those parents rip it all away again and she even loses the one stable part of her life. No friends, no true family, and and seemingly no way out, until a glimmer of hope comes in can changes everything once again.

Also, maybe it's just my brain seeing things that aren't there like it has a few times in other stories, but I sense a bit of tension rising out of Toshiro and Sayumi's relationship. Maybe it's just awkward growing pains since they've been together for so long, or maybe they're just awkward.

In any case, excited to see how Akira reacts to the rest of the group. Also, for once in my KS life I didn't absolutely despise everything that is Jigoro, so good on you. Unlike Akira's dad (so far) he seems to have at least 1 good bone in his body, while still being a perfectly punchable figure.
