I can see why this chapter would have been hard to write. The Gods know I had the a very similar problem with DSKT between Isaac and Mia - and Mia's rape was years before the story. But 'twas handled very well, yes it was. And yay for Kratos/Anna fluffiness.
Also, I like that you were able to show Kratos' growing affection for Anna in five chapters without being forced or smacking us over the head with declarations about how much he loved her [insert purply prose description here]. I liked the line about "He found that he disliked going several days without her" to be very telling, but wonderfully subtle, and it captures Kratos' voice perfectly, methinks.
In case you weren't able to tell, I really love this story. :D
