I really like how Duo gets swallowed by the hunt, and even before that gets halfway swallowed by anticipation -- he's been a lot more stressed than he lets on by his idleness at Hilde's place and the weirdness of trying to fit into the Preventers, hasn't he? *pets him*

I was a bit confused when Heero started sending to Duo. At first I thought the warning about the pepper bomb was purely Duo's own reaction, and I kept reading Heero's sendings as Killer's -- but once Heero actually appeared, I went back and it made perfect sense the second time through. I'm not sure if that's just me reading badly or if there's some way you could make it clearer that a new player has jumped into the packbond communication loop.
