I think she never was a Satou in the first place, wasn't she? Or am I mixing this up again? You are remembering it "correctly" in that Hideaki mentioned in Shizune's route that Lilly's father and Jigoro are brothers and don't like each other. That raised the issue that it'd be weird for the two to ...

Difficult to believe, for the reason that Lilly's father and Jigoro are part of two different families and usually wouldn't get to interact with one another much. The way it goes in Japan is that the oldest son remains part of the family while other children marry into other families and become part...

Some of those things you mentioned did indeed cross my mind as potential sequel ideas, including turning Lilly's parents into actual characters. The story would shift closer to Lilly than to Hisao since (as the title indicates) this is above all a Hanako & Lilly fanfic. Obviously Hisao would maintai...

We're going to go into a lot of detail about just how Akira wound up in her position with regards to Jigoro's past. Unlike some other elements in the story, I've got a loooooot of room to play around here, and I think I'll be able to deliver something sufficiently entertaining and satisfying as far...

Akira's a corporate lawyer and the director of human resources here, and considering the fact that this place reminds me of a law firm, “it's not too far off from what I was expecting.” “I inherited this position from my uncle because he decided that I was better suited than all of the men and wome...

One thing of note is that in Lilly's route, Hanako's deeper issues were never even addressed or worked out. So things could go either way with her. Another thing of note is the fact Hanako doesn't have a great deal of people in her life and will probably never have a large social circle. With no (pa...

She totally can be confused by a charming bugger, who will think of her as of another dent on his bed's headboard. I can't. Mostly because Hanako has a paranoid/misanthropic streak that makes her quick to distrust others intentions and assume the worst about them. (which would include suspecting th...

I'm not sure about prestigious, but I'd be surprised if Yamaku only catered to rich disabled kids.

I remember once hearing that the student body was somewhere around 300 or so...definitely no higher. Keep in mind that Japanese education values midterm/final exam scores for all grades very highly, so it's natural that the students at Yamaku make a big deal out of them. Is that also true in the fin...

I also really appreciated that this story fit so well into what I consider one of the major themes of KS, which is what I call "mirrors". The best example I can pick out (I presume this was intentional) was when Lilly was calling her mother to tell her she wasn't coming home...and she had inherited...

And from everything we learn about her it's pretty clear that she wants to be taken seriously by her peers. If she really wanted that, she'd probably move to Scotland without ever looking back. Business culture in Japan is still very much a male culture and discourages females sticking around the w...

Not to mention the fact that people tend to become desensitized to stuff if they see it often enough. That's why surgeons and emergency ward doctors don't even bat an eyelid anymore at stuff that would make others pass out. Even Hisao, upon first seeing Hanako's bare back, comments to himself that h...

Probably not. Shizune's role in this story is probably the closest I'll ever come to making her more likable. I never really felt that much of a connection with the student council duo, (at least not to the degree I felt with Hanako and Lilly) but there's several stories/epilogues about Shizune and ...

Was the faulty line where Hideaki claims Jigoro and Lilly's dad are brothers fixed? I believe it was in of the scenes in Shizune's route.

Dumb question, but have you done any other KS fics Guest? Not really. This was my first attempt at fan fiction, though I've been involved with long-term internet projects before which came in handy when things started to get tedious. This story has been an inspiration for a lot of us. That's cool, ...
