This is a nicely written piece.  A little out of character for Kodachi, 
of course, but I imagine you've got a reason for this.  It's very 
difficult to write sympathetic pieces about annoying, manipulative, 
maniacal jerks like Kodachi (not that I have any personal feelings on 
the matter, mind you).  :)
Keep at it, I'm interested as to where this is leading.
