St. Elmo's Fire on Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul HackersWhat annoys me is that they totally could have made it clear. Just describe her personality in fire/ice/electric terms, with the words highlighted to…
St. Elmo's Fire on Hate PlusJust read this myself, and wow it is like the framing story was written by a completely different and much worse writer. We have a chillingly accurate…
