As mentioned in my previous comments, although this was a short piece, I think you've managed to capture all the unsaid things between them, and your descriptions of the everyday events occurring between the two (the people moving about and waiting for their trains, the contrast in their physical differences and their clothing, the rain) added to the bittersweet subtlety of their silent good-bye. And this is still my favourite line:"His train had arrived, and she must go seek hers."
Also, it's all right if you couldn't expand on this more/write more Giripan fills (though I must admit, I'd be quite pleased if you did write more for them in future, if you have the time). Real-life can be a bummer with writing sometimes, so don't feel too bad about that!
Anyway, I apologise for the tl';dr comment I'm prone to doing this...ahahaha ^^;, but yes, I love this fill very much. Thank you for sharing! ♥♥♥

But I am kinda bummed that it ended morbidly; it was originally supposed to have a happy ending in the nonexistent chapter-version! Giripan always remind me of cute, fluffy moments (with a dash of physical awkwardness) =3=...

But yeah, I do get what you mean - I like writing happy endings too, especially if the rest of the fic was sad or a little angsty XD
Maybe if you get more time during summer break, you can write some happy Giripan fluff? ;) No pressure to, of course.

This is the first story I've read for this pairing and . . . wow. Um, I'm not exactly sure what to say, other than this was just very sad. The story is very descriptive, which I like, and the way it's written immediately had me felt that it was raining. And grah, it's just really sad. It must've been really hard for Sakura here to say goodbye to someone she was falling in love with (come to think of it, it's always hard isn't it? Having to watch someone close to you leave, no matter the nature of relationship . . .). And I don't think Heracles will forget her for quite a long time, either. Somewhere a voice inside me is calling out the the train - "HERACLES COME BAAAAAAAAACK! orz" - but I'm not sure it'll work . . . But yeah. The fic raises more questions, which I hope you'll find time to answer someday. I know how you feel about not having much time; high school can be a pain if you're in the graduating batch. x__x OTLThe last line, in particular, can hit ( ... )

Really? I thought I answered all the questions in my a/n... Do you mean like an epilogue?
Ahh...that song brings me back to my high school days... And I agree, the lyrics do really fit! ^^
You have a good ear; love the music box version :)

Ah, not exactly an epilogue; more of a backstory. I'm curious to see what has happened before this scene, how Sakura got to that town in the first place, the nature of her relationship with Heracles, the events leading up to his leaving, etc. Though it would also be nice to know is she would be okay in the end. It's all up to you, though.
And also, w-what's a youga? ^^; *SHOT*
I'm going to graduate in a couple of week's time, so I think the song may soon have the same effect. XDDD And they do, don't they? :) Glad you like the music box version! And thanks!
Oh, and because your fic just wouldn't leave my head. :)
