So, the first entries (say, during Yamaku) actually stretched my suspension of disbelief in places, but this? This is excellent. Now I'm wondering what exactly drove Sachiko to meet her end, because both this story and Hideaki's didn't show her thought processes... I mean, I've got a pretty good id...

That sounds like corn on the cob...

Also, I'd rather interrupt the flow of the story than confuse the reader. "The hell is a Horizon Field? What's a Magrail?" I don't want that. If I put it in the internal monologue, it would sound odd; why would a character suddenly think about a technology that's been with them all their lives? I c...

It's a bare table in a bare room, with him on one side and I on the other. "Welcome to my workplace," he says, the light glinting off his thick glasses. He is smiling, and his teeth are perfectly white. "Well, we've done it." "You certainly have. Damn, the pain. I still feel it after all these years...

This is the second section of the fifth instalment of the first part of the redacted archive of Kenji Setou. It completes 'Five Years That Break A Man', the first part of Sakura—The Kenji Saga . In which he thinks there's little worse if what is broken is broken again—until he learns otherwise. For...

*nods* I definitely agree with forgetmenot. Powerful stuff here. Best part of this arc without question, and best piece of the mosaic since at least Mutou's arc. I may disagree with the direction in which you've taken Kenji conceptually, but if I put that aside and allow myself to be re-immersed in...

That's basically the dictionary definition of obligation. I'd just like to point out that 'obligation' strongly implies a moral or legal duty to carry out some action. The word itself means a binding imposed on you. Not reading every poem in a poetry collection, every path in a CYOA novel or every ...

That's a bad analogy. The answer to that depends on which anime you're in.

Exactly.

I don't know; the argument is almost existential in its weirdness. Like, can one person in one exact moment in time really do more than one thing? Is Hisao a character with a characterization, or is Hisao a puppet built by 4LS for our amusement? What is Hisao? It depends on your perspective, I gues...

Best epilogue ever for an epilogue.

Had a rather nice moment today listening to Bach's Cello Suites, and I realised at one point I was listening to BWV1010: Sarabande - the music playing from the music box Hisao bought Lilly. I'm just pleased I didn't start crying like the wuss I am :P Noooooooo… that piece has been haunting my dream...

That's not a djent, that's a lady.

Hoo boy. Doesn't this pack quite the emotional wallop. It's interesting to see one's own character used to illustrate themes you'd have never even considered on your own. Especially one with such gravitas as the persistence/illusion of memory when compared to the now. It's funny that she should sho...

This is the first section of the fifth instalment of the first part of the redacted archive of Kenji Setou. In which he suffers dreams, makes new ones, and has an old one destroyed forever. Kenji: Five Years That Break A Man—Year Five (Part 1) (20090330-20090830) The other day, my editor noted that...

Yay! The artwork I mentioned is done, and I should be able to post it in a day or two after one final detail gets worked out. :mrgreen: Same thing with the next chapter. Almost done with it, hope to have it out in the next few days if work doesn't kill me. Most appreciated! Good wishes for your suc...
