Oh, yes yes. Lee developed and patented KaraVision™ in secret. This is so that he could angst and brood and sulk about ghost!Kara in private. LEE IS A CLOSET HERMIT, DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? :p Anyway, thank you for pointing that line out because it's truly one of my favorites -- because, because I always remember folks when looking at the most mundane of things. And I do love how everything in the worlds started together before combusting into a bajillion pieces. Hence the Gattaca epigraph!
This fic -- this fic, heh. It was somewhat inspired by this very, very, very well-done story: Periapsis. Have you read it? It's what I was going for tonally, though the characterizations are different for a few obvious reasons. Anyway, re: his coping mechanism (assuring himself that Kara is dead), though not canon-consistent, is something I could see him doing. And well, I honestly felt like his suicidal ideation in Resurrection II needed more build up.
Anyway, I'm so glad you found time to read this and leave such a thoughtful comment -- especially if you're on a fic-reading moratorium!
