No no, nothing to regret. It certainly was a bit contrived, and I'm grateful that you're confirming that to me. It's hard to tell which mistakes or weaknesses in the writing are just in my head, and which are real, and the best way to know is when you guys tell me you noticed it as well. Thanks!

Alright, quick update since it's been a while. I've had a bit of a bad month, but that shouldn't have kept me from writing the way it did. After finishing Act 2, I fully intended to take a break for only a week or so and then get right back into it, but it was not to be. Somewhere along the line, I ...

At last! Been waiting for this for a while now, Detective. Good chapter, all in all. I was glad to learn more about Mr. Tatsunagi, although I'll admit I expected something more mysterious than a divorce. That answer makes a lot more sense though, and fits what you seem to be going for with the vario...

Thanks, Razor! Glad to hear you're enjoying it.

That is quite an analysis. I'm continuously impressed with your ability to not only get in my characters' heads, but to express your findings so well. You seriously make me think through what it was that led me to write each scene the way I did. Right out of the gate, I'd like to congratulate Xeraeo...

And that's a wrap for Act 2! I'm still finding it hard to believe I've gotten this far. The main reason I've been able to keep going on this instead of losing focus is you guys who read it and comment. Seriously, if it weren't for you, I would have given up a long time ago. This was the most thoroug...

tap-tap… tap-Tap… Tap-Tap… I perk up at the familiar sound, my eyes leaving the page of my book to confirm the source. Sure enough, Lilly rounds the corner at the entrance to the hallway and begins making her way towards her door, her cane lightly touching the floor ahead of her and the bottom of t...

Spoiler alert: one thing Hisao and I have in common right now- neither of us has any idea where Hitomi is.

Update: Found her.

One left! Wrote this entirely today. Act 2 conclusion coming up in the next few days! For at least the third time today, I catch myself staring at Molly's back absentmindedly, and force myself to return my attention to the textbook on my desk. How do I tell her? It's not like she actually confessed...

Your trust may be misplaced, Nuke. We'll have to see how things pan out. As previously stated, I'm not a fan of the idea of love triangles as a general rule, and I was not interested in dragging that out as a major plot device. Instead, the dynamic among Hisao, Molly and Suzu has served primarily to...

Only two more chapters in Act 2! I can't tell ya'll how much I'm enjoying this. Thanks to Feurox and Nuke for getting me more connected with the community lately, and of course Chatty and Brixter for the consistent, thoughtful analysis. Anyway, hope you enjoy this one. "Hey, you're coming into...

Bit too much going on in these analyses for me to keep all of it in my head long enough to respond well, but to address one thing: Hisao's outburst... When the conversation took place in my mind, Hisao was not yelling. More just speaking in a harsher tone than he intended. I tried to convey that wit...

Okay, finally had time to read this. On a technical level, this chapter is already a pretty solid improvement over the previous one. Excellent work. You still have plenty of room to grow, but you're doing that growing quickly. Eager to see how you continue to get better as you write. Now, the conten...

"Is this your first time coming to the city?" Kind of a dumb question, but if we're spending the day together, I need to find something to talk about. We took the bus from Yamaku down to Sendai, and though sitting beside Hitomi for that long was thrilling in its own way, I don't think walk...

Okay, just got back from a trip and got a bunch of work done. I can respond here. Brixter and Chatty, thank you as always for your interesting commentary, and for being so invested in my story. It's humbling. I'm gonna try to avoid responding to specific commentary on plot points so I don't affect h...
