So, my thoughts:
Anita's reactions are very well played in regards to the crucio aftermath. You could feel her confusion, her inability to really comprehend what she was going through, and why. She was so worried about other people-classic Anita- that she refused to be concerned about herself. And the guilt? By heavens, very well done.
Though that speech she gave to Richard about getting over it? She so needs to hear that for herself.
One thing that I'm going to chalk up to Anita's post-traumatic reaction is her fear that JC would hit her. As far as I can recall, he never offered her violence, not even when they weren't together. It startled me as a reader that Anita was expecting to be smacked around by both JC and Richard. I'm going to chalk it up to crucio influence and leave it at that.
All in all, nicely done.

Good. My point has been made, then. Thing is, we can't know how the curse affected Anita. By her thinking, even for a second, that either of them (hell, any of her four men) would be angry at her for the curse, we start to see that she's really, really fucked up.
Which she is. But she's a highly functional fucked up girl, so the repercussions will not be immediately obvious.
Thanks for your comments, and I hope your data behave today.
