Why this must be read:

Seishirou and Subaru play an old game: tell two truths and one lie. Can they guess the truth, and if so what are the consequences?

This fic was written for the 1999 challenge: all fics submitted must be 1999 words exactly. It amazes me how she manages to fit such a detailed character piece into so few words. Its very simplicity is what makes it beautiful. The last line is the real kicker. It stilled my breath and made me gasp in the way only a perfectly executed ending can.

Simply wonderful!
