I hate it as much as you do, but I don't see any other way I can stay in the game after missing even a battle. It feel kinda cop out and uncharacteristic to just have Asuka wake up from some coma or something, so I'm just gonna let you give her the hero's death. It was a great run while it lasted and if I hadn't have gotten sick, it woulda been longer. I'll probably drop by the OOC and read a few posts like always, but I don't think I can continue now.
