It's a girl...and whatever happen to Alex?
Besides the exchanges of letters between the serious alex and the smwhat bubbly crystal, this chapter is the one I love best. But it's so sad, and the endin is such a tragedy. Empty casket indeed...
Lovely poem...*dabs eye** -_-"

I began to notice how you love to supriz your readers with uncanny or even twisted tales...and you're just amazing. But I still feel you can still expand your story into a more clearly based plot so as to attract your readers, so that they will keep comin back for more of you...^^"

I do wish you would elaborate more and perhaps you could expand the story, instead of leavin too much to your reader's imaginations...it seems that there is so many unanswered questions as on who, what, how and when or where all these happen. Its rather bizzare...

The woman? She seems to be the queen of the tribe, who's she?
Oh no, what a twist of an event indeed...*hands clapped to mouth in suspense*

Reminds me of the Chinese classic tale of the lovers Cowherd and heavenly Weavergirl.
And panda bear indeed ^^ alex must be kind of cute and cuddly *longing* ^^"

Awesome and remarkable choices of words, terms and stanzas. He's amazingly romantic even in letters and I couldn't imagine how he would be like in person with crystal...sigh~~
