As it says here, Yuki was drugged with Rohypnol, also known commonly as “roofies.” I did a bit of research on it when planning this arc. Rohypnol is the trade name for Flunitrazepam, which was originally developed to treat insomnia. It causes muscle relaxation and can cause impaired speech and balance. An overdose can result in coma or death. One side effect of Rohypnol is anterograde amnesia (“blackouts”), so a person may not be able to clearly recall the events that took place while they were under its influence – which is the reason it is sometimes used as a date rape drug. Flunitrazepam is also used as a recreational drug and for suicide.
Tomorrow starts a new (drug-free ;) ) chapter called “The Heart Grows Fonder.” It is one of my roommate Gael's favorites. I won't reveal anything else, but make sure you check it out.
n_y_japlander: Sadly, there is no swift justice for this incident. The next chapter will allude to motive for the attack, though.
LanceDanger: Thanks. I was making a new banner (with 4 characters) and decided it would be fun to add more and make it a title graphic. ^_^
Peipei: Nah. That was proper CPR, so much more useful than a kiss. ;-)
Tantz: Yay! I'm glad I was able to portray that properly.
Locoma: I used to do anything I could to avoid drawing certain things, but now I just hold my breath and go for it.
JNP: Lol. I think I met those girls too. Brad is Yuki's childhood friend. If she was ever going to use him as a “safety boyfriend,” she would have done it before.
dueeast: Yeah, that's a cute one. Yuki has very limited memory of it though and probably a heck of a headache.
amanda: Sorry to disappoint. A big part of this story is the sheer frustration of not being able to get revenge.
trev: That was one of those “last chance” confessions. Those two have been skirting romance for a long time (and it continues :-P).
Lonnehart: Brad thought he might have missed his last chance, but it was a surprise confession from Yuki. (She is usually so oblivious to his advances. XD )
blntmaker: Thanks. I love writing stories just like my favorite shows and movies. ^_^
worstcase: Thanks. I thought it was kinda sweet too.
Ziffy88: Yeah it looks weird. I have some hits and some misses, and that one just didn't turn out right.

(O.O) come on Brad... Grow a set!!!!! (^O^) glad to see Yuki pull through! Is that a set of armor in the 4th panel?

Seiko's awesome! She's like Sherlock and Dr. Watson all in one!

Oh goodness, this is like watching prime time TV - the two people you want to see hook up, they finally confess their feelings, and you have to go and have her loose her memory of it! Tease!

LOLs at JNP's comment! This is a good follow-up page, if a teensy bit disappointing (though understandable) that Yuki doesn't remember her little confession (at least Brad does).

Argh, this is frustrating in two ways: one, you're right - not being able to get revenge is frustrating (though very realistic); and two, why didn't Brad say anything?! Grar.

"here's what happened" :P

she forgot o_o Idk if this is a good thing or a bad thing xD My mind tells me that this is kind've a good thing :o lol Brad's confession was really kind've spontaneous :s

Oh noes, the confession! =( I had to take sleeping pills once, I hated it XD
Lonnehart at 10:07PM, March 4, 2008
ow... she doesn't remember... Must be a devastating blow to him. Well, not so devastating since he's not going to tell her what she said after being revived... And that drug... I hear way too much about it. So much that when I go to a party I tell my niece to keep a very close eye on her drink. O_O
