Nice, except for one thing:

Every part of me is screaming that this is wrong; that I shouldn't
betray my best friend even for one moment of happiness. But his
warmth, combined with the scent that is uniquely his overpowers
all my urges to bolt.

Keep in mind that in the movie, Hikaru believes that things aren't going so
well between Kyosuke and Madoka (a mistaken impression Kyosuke never
corrects).  She thinks he's more-or-less "available", and wants to be his
girlfriend again.  She *wasn't* interested in a one night stand at all.

I'll fix it.  I wasn't really sure what she wanted since it's been a while
since I read the novel. Thanks.

Otherwise, I really liked this.  Kinder bittersweet.  I prefer Madoka, but
I've always like Hikaru, too.  The manga version was pretty much betrayed

by

Kyosuke and Madoka, and didn't really deserve all the pain she got right at
the end, so it was nice to see her get a small measure of happiness from
Kyosuke, fleeting as it may have been.

I'm glad you liked it.

I really like Hikaru, and I agree that she deserves to be happy.
