Well, since there are still some open questions, I thought I'd use this opportunity to answer them:

It was all Misha's doing! She was jealous that Hisao gave the cat to Shizune, so she turned back time to give herself another chance. Only this time Hisao ended up with Emi, so she had to redo it once more. When he ended up with Kenji the sixth time around she was freakin' mad at Hisao and locked him in the loop permanently to get her revenge on him.
What she didn't plan on was Hisao and the other girls finally breaking free from the rails she set them and now can use the time loop freely. By doing that they messed up whatever Misha spell Misha cast, and now she's locked in the loop along with everyone else.
The reason Misha and Shizune are avoiding the others is so she doesn't slip up and give hersalf away accidentally. Oh, and Shizune is controlled by Misha, obviously.
There are only two ways of finally breaking the loop: Either kill Misha or for Hisao to take her back with him after the fireworks.

Note:
While I asked For Leo's permission to post my ramblings here, he refused to confirm or deny their veracity. So we won't know for sure until the sequel 8)

Your ramblings are always interesting Mirage, as considering you're right about Leo neither denying nor approving this theory to be of valid status.
Since obviously Lelouch doesn't have that kinda power, I would have voted for Nomiya to be coaxing this whole ordeal with a magical paitbrush or something crazy like that.

Nice ending

But i still kinda find it depressing that their still stuck in this loop.

Even if he is optimistic about it eventually it would drive them all insane.

But I liked it twas a good read

Great read. Once I get some free time from my job (it's horrible), I'm gonna sit down and reread the whole thing again.

... Sequel? What sequel? Do you have some form of psychic ability or something you'd like to share? O.o

In Hisao's case: been there, done that, didn't want the shirt :P

This ending had been my intention from the start (or at least the vague idea of it, until around the halfway point), and while the vague idea of a sequel where time continues on normally did pop up from time to time, I'm out of ideas on how to actually write it, heh ">_> Well, maybe I'll have a bit of luck when the full version is released... Doubt it, though, I've run out of ideas :P

Anything more I write on this topic will get me the attention of SC, so I better get to work on my own story again...

Read the entire thread in one sitting. Loved all of it.
Sequel = do want.
Hisao+Hanako is the best ever, for reasons which I'd imagine are obvious to everyone.

This is the grade of writing I wish I were capable of. I have so many ideas running around in my head that I just can't find the words for. Though now I am strangely motivated... Don't be terribly surprised if I wind up with something in the next few weeks, though I'd be hesitant to actually post it...

I just reread the entire story for memory reasons, because it seemed fitting to do so after the epilogue.
Nice work, Leotrak, nice work indeed. Thanks for sharing it.

Don't ever hesitate to try your hand at writing. Like any other skill, it requires practice. I'm just starting out myself; the sum of my creative writing that's been seen by more than three people are the two fanfics I've posted in this forum.

And there are plenty of people here willing to give your writing a look for editing. Just ask.

Amen to that.

I've been collaborating on an ongoing Star Wars fanfic for a while and over time you get better and better at it.

True story bro :lol:

True words, truely spoken.

This was a great fanfic, inspired me to pick up the 'pen' again. But unfortunately, the artistic flame in my soul seems to have been smothered by years of jaded sarcasm, and I have nothing to write about.

Gonna re-read it while I'm at work tonight, once the boss goes home. >_>

Haha, I just read that. :lol:

I'm torn between trying my hand at some crazy metaphysical shenanigans like "Numbered Days" or just going for a more simple style story.
Most likely romance, regardless. (Obviously, considering the general theme of these forums =P)

Also, despite my favoring Hanako, I think a story focusing on Lilly is most likely to form from my mind. Or Rin. I find my thought process/demeanor is most similar to those two, so I figure I'd best try to stick with something I easily understand.

Yes, I suppose I just said I understand Rin. I don't think I'm wrong, but it would not be the whole truth to say I think I'm right either.

Just read it, and appreciate the gesture. Maybe one day I'll get off my ass and get back into writing things.

Almost cried in gratitude for knowing there was an epilogue. XD

Was reading on my bed, I always said to myself I'd finish one chapter then continue on the coming morning. You write so well I just had to finish it before going to sleep.XD
