Well, that was a good response from my limited perspective, ProfA. The last few posts here have also provided a useful (if not painless) discussion in terms of what I've learnt about deafness. Thanks!

When Hisao dies suddenly, especially in that situation - just as they're about to greet a second child... Minor non-spoiler correction: Hisao dies about two years after the cardiac incident he suffered on the day his son Akira was born. The parenthetical (sorry!) chapter 'T' numbers are arranged ar...

While you take a well-earned break, may I ask for a complete list of character arcs? So far we've had Shizune and Lilly. Hanako and Emi are still to come. Apparently you have a Misha one saved for last? Looking forward to that. Does Rin have an arc? I'm quite curious about her dissapearance. All si...

Anyhow, I agree that it seems odd for Lilly to carry a torch for Hisao for 60+ years. As the story drew to a close, I found myself thinking it strange that she wouldn't recount any other experiences she's had other than the small, explicit vignettes we've seen. It seems cherry-picked. In the end, t...

I must admit the "Emi dying of a broken heart"-thing came across to me as weird. It almost sounds like Emi lost her will to live after Hisao died, gave up and faded away. Emi's dealt with loss before. We also know how she deals with it...by running her artificial legs off and trudging on....

Hold up a second, just realized a factual issue. 2011-02-07, Lilly would have to decide whether she wanted to be a UK or Japanese citizen (she could have legitimately gotten dual citizenship by birth, but at the age of 22, Japan requires someone to either relinquish their Japanese citizenship or th...

I admit to struggling with the idea of Lilly carrying a torch for Hisao for 60+ years, and moreso with Hisao's message to her on the plaque, but otherwise still very well done. *grin* I admit to struggling with that too. But by Lilly's neutral end, they've had quite the romance—and Lilly's a romant...

Emi's arc doesn't end very well for anyone. That's why I'll need a break before I start writing it. Sigh. I'm beginning to think only Hanako gets a good deal in my mosaic…

This is the seventh and last part of Lilly's main arc in 'After the Dream'. There's a lot more to tell, but not here. It is also the logical ending to the entire Lilly story, including ' Testament ', whose last chapter concludes just before this. Lilly 7: Terminus (2074) It’s Tanabata again, and I ...

Most of it will have to wait for Hanako's arc… I will be taking a break after Lilly's arc. Emi will be next.

I'm taking my time to enjoy this. Interesting premise, entertaining perspectives… I'm learning something here about writing too.

This is the sixth part of Lilly's arc in 'After the Dream', my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic. There's a special guest-star (heh) at the end. This part also dovetails with Shizune's arc here . Lilly 6: Transpose (2030) It has been six years since I was last in Japan, for Hisao’s funeral. I remember ...

I've read this piece through for the first time. It comes across as rather unpolished, but it does tell a fascinating story with interesting insights as to the history and character of Shiina Mikado, our dear Misha. Characters: Misha grows well and comes to terms with herself, Will is a good bro, He...

This is the fifth part of Lilly's arc in 'After the Dream', my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic. It has slight overlap with Shizune's arc here . Lilly 5: Transmute (2028) I’m sitting here at my keyboard, trying to say things that almost cannot be said. Hanako wants me to do it; she says it will help. ...
