Another chapter in the vein of the two-part opener, though the narrative is much simpler, stripped down to bare porn essentials. Again, the FMC is a casually promiscuous teenager, and the MMC seems to be sleepwalking through his life. Here, however, there's no lovey-dovey warmth to break the chill, and no insight into what brought the anti-heroic protagonists to this point. We're offered little but a frame for transactional sex between "broken" but stoic people. Nevertheless, the story is engaging and the characters are credible, even somewhat relatable (provided you're willing to suspend moral judgment about their behavior).
I rather like the sensibility expressed in these first two stories. The themes and action suggest edgy nihilism in the style of Koji Wakamatsu's influential Go, Go, Second Time Virgin, but they're delivered without the punitive cruelty that tends to accompany such fare. The characters don't seemed inescapably doomed or miserable so much as disaffected, and their willingness to live outside conventional social bounds is granted a perverse kind of nobility. Good stuff.
