the first one, although abrupt seemed to be more exciting. i think i know why - your lead-in few paragraphs - became more of a narrative (an explanation ... and perhaps caused it to be standing still - in a relative sense) and less of an action-filled one - unlike the first, which seemed to be alive and jumping (which is why i chose abrupt)

but that's at first reading. i'll do another read,for the complete view....

did it end the same way? with it "AInt?"
I dont remember commenting on it.
anyway. i just wanted to say that "AINT" was an excellent riposte on goku's part.
a beautiful ending. i dont think i said that, did i?

EDIT: well, now that i've deleted it i can do this.
i stand by my comment but this is part i wanted to add

it didnt register in the first because i went ahead and read the epilogue (now i know why books force a new page for things like epilogue - it forces the reader to take stock up and breathe properly)

anyway.
i think you might have explained too many things?
dont get me wrong - i'm happy you answered all my questions, but perhaps i should have been perfectly satisfied to just have a portion of them gratified, fic-wise... and do an EoS for the rest.

anyway, i like this about as equally as the first, though i had more stuff explained here.
i'm not sure when the insufficient became enough though.
