Here's the Prologue of Book Two. I don't really have any other means of doing flashbacks, since everything is in a POV format, so these are the only opportunities I get to show old scenes without going into re-tellings. Hopefully this gives further insight into the origins of Neko's motivations and ...

I've never considered this an exceptionally difficult piece, having performed it with multiple ensembles, in multiple arrangements (and keys: G, A-flat, and A), from almost as many different instruments (why G? Drum and bugle corps, back in the days when we only had two valves and the entire hornli...

Assuming you're doing multiple endings -- in the spirit of a pseudo-route -- your anniversary one shot has all the feel(s) of a bad-end epilogue. Or at least I hope it is the bad-end epilogue, heavens help us if it's the good-end one. Bad ending...yeah, sometimes I forget this is a pseudo-route, wi...

I'm now up to eight songs, and finally one that's actually referenced directly in the book -- "Librarian" , which provides the subtext to the Yuuko chapter. This is the first WM vocal track I've been willing to release with absolutely no Autotune used on it (not so much by choice, it was totally man...

I was laughing through most of the chapter. Well done. And shoving will protect Hisao from the terrible secret of Escher. Good thing Aunt Mei is not Grandma Mei, or she would be protected at the bottom of the stairs, and shoved outside into the snow, only to have more snow pushed onto her. I know t...

That's it for Book One. I know it sort of just stops, but at least the major plotline of Neko trying to have both Miki and Hisao has been resolved. This meant it was time for a title change. I have compiled a Youtube playlist here you can use to follow along to all the musical references. Please not...

HISAO “I’m glad you’re coming with us, Suzu. It would obviously be better if we could take Neko, but she can’t know about this. It’s supposed to be a surprise.” I smile at her, and she smiles back. “It’s fine, I know you’re not an expert on girls’ bikes. Neither am I, but at least I know what I lik...

HANAKO «Tonight I don't wanna feel wonderful Tonight I don't wanna feel bad Cause tonight will be the night of my dreams Tonight I won't feel anything» “They might start wondering if I’m still alive, and then they’d come looking for my body. I think I’d rather just show up for class once in a while...

SALLY “So we’ll take that shopping trip tomorrow. Keep it to yourself, it’s supposed to be a surprise.” I can see the way Hisao keeps eyeing the candy on the table. “I wouldn’t touch those if I were you. If you do, you can face Suzu’s wrath yourself… and I’ll just watch. From a safe distance, of co...

NEKO One of these days, that’s actually going to work. I’m going to lose my cool and take a swing at her, and she’s going to bust my chops . I know what she was trying to do, and the worst part is that it was working anyhow – but I’ll get over that. I always have before. The part that is going to t...

MIKI “I never thought going for walks was one of your little pleasures in life, but sure. I’m up for it.” I grab the open package of mango gummies off the table and pocket them before downing the rest of my sangria. “Let’s move.” Once outside, I can’t help wondering why we are out here. It’s not li...

ABE Dad is sitting across the table from me, instead of at the end next to me like usual. Sally has also abandoned her usual spot at the head of the table, sliding over one seat to sit next to Miki instead. It’s all very strange, and it gets stranger still when I feel Suzu’s hand on my thigh, under...

SUZU «Wake up, wake up Children don't ya hear me comin’ Get up, get up Because I got to have the honey» I search in vain for a flat piece of glass. I don’t have a mirror in here, because I just brush my hair straight back and shake my head. I don’t even have a compact, because I don’t wear makeup. ...

HANAKO “That’s funny, we s-seem to be out of w-wine.” I pick up the box and shake it to be sure, but there’s nothing left. Kenji drops an empty bottle to the floor with a sharp clank! “Jack has left the building.” Well, shit. “N-now what?” “Well you drank up my emergency supply, so you figure somet...

NEKO Hisao and I are just into our second cup of coffee – which I was only too happy to let him brew – each when we hear a commotion, a flurry of footsteps coming down the stairs. Abe rushes down the hall in a panic. “Whoa there! Slow down before you hurt someone.” I put up my arm to indicate stop,...
