Today I asked myself, "Is it true that Hisao must always be a boring fanfic character or he wouldn't be Hisao?"

I think this one was meant to be a spoof of various email scams for sucking money out of gullible recipients. Like the infamous Nigerian ones.

Have I mentioned that I loved the Arcs of the "side" characters (who in the AtD-verse feel more main-characterish than the main characters) the best. If I haven't, the I've been negligent in my duty as a reader. By the way, you'll need to reprimand Hideaki and Hanako a bit here. It seems that the h...

Serviam wrote:The grave Mutou remembers... Might he and Hisao have spoken of it at one time later in life?

Even Akira, Hideaki and Rika didn't know about this until very late; I suspect only Shizune was told.

I have a confession to make. Rikabro's piece was so powerful and moving (in most parts, not all, but I'll save that for later), that it was one of the 'kickstart' inspirations for my own writing here. In particular, these innocent-looking words from near the end: "As you’re no doubt aware, Mr. Nakai...

I hope so

Actually, you get 'Jigoro' Hakamichi, who's actually Shizune's mother. Now you know how they're related to Lilly and Akira. See? It all fits!

This is the first Hisao vignette, from a few months before his graduation from Yamaku. It takes place in my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic, ' After the Dream '. Completed major arcs: Shizune | Lilly | Emi | Hanako | Rin | Misha —  Main Index Completed minor arcs: Miki | Rika | Mutou | Akira | Hideak...

What is it with these two? "That's what happens when you don't let me edit." "I think I pulled off the drama pretty well, wife!" "No, no, my husband—you put on the drama, if anything else. Our b-business negotiations now look like a bad Sch-sch-warneg-zegneg- whatever movie!" "Hey, some buildings go...

It's as if you've finally tipped over the log and all the beetles are beginning to crawl out from under it. A flowering rather than a deflowering, so to speak. I have to see Rin's scroll. That part, excellent. Balance? Still maintained. Sense of momentum? Up one notch. I've now identified, through r...

Hideaki Hakamichi's arc is finally complete. You'll note that it is far longer than his sister's arc, but I have to put it down to their very different personalities and forms of expression. With this arc, the secondary layer of the 'After the Dream' mosaic (or whatever you want to call the beast) i...

This is the seventh part of Hideaki's arc in my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic, ' After the Dream '. For his own strange reasons, Hideaki has elected to describe an unusually sweeping span of his life and times. Perhaps further enlightenment on the events he describes may be found in the accounts pr...

"Have you finally got everything off your chest yet, my husband?" Sigh. I'm trying to sleep and here are two people starting a little bout of marital conflict right next to me. "Beautiful lady wife! You know how I feel about those years, don't you?" "You mean the cycle centred around our friend's de...

I cheated a bit there, sorry; she's a character in AtD.
