first of all, never apologize for writing comments -- especially if they're long! this is literally an author's lifeline omg you just made my week dude LOL it's so reassuring to know that people are invested in this story enough to speculate about it to this extent; i appreciate you & the time it took to write all this out!! you're amazing!!
i think i'll just reply to all your points in this one comment, so i don't spam the thread haha. hope that's okay!!
you read very very closely [insert eyes emoji] so i'll have to keep some of my secrets unfortunately, haha, but you're way on the mark for a lot it! toilet gang being officially established was an important milestone that needed to come to fruition as early as possible in this story -- so much happens later that requires all of them present and working together! also, kou's my bby son. i couldn't bear to leave him out for too long T_T nene inviting him in might've come off as fast-paced, or even awkward, but i was trying to convey the adrenaline rush she was riding out, as well as her complete and total lack of experience with how to handle romantic encounters, haha. also... you said yourself that the minamotos must've already been aware of 404... maybe nene wasn't the only one with a double agenda here? >:)
hanako's red eyes are more for symbolism than anything else. also, i enjoy injecting some unique discrepancies from canon; this is a story that borrows from that universe, but simultaneously exists in a completely different timeline. they're all adults, and they all lead considerably different lives than the hanako-kun cast we know in canon!. i like exploring that intersection, and i think it's fun to see how far i can push it!
as for your theories on which characters are going to make an appearance... i think you'll really enjoy next week's update. ^^
a bajillion thank yous for your feedback and level of attention to detail! waking up to these comments was such a treat. i adore it, and i hope you'll stick with me for future installments! much love. <3
it's okay haha ! tbh i should've compiled all my thoughts first before posting my comment but my scatterbrained self didn't think of that :'))
i,,, i'll take note of your comment lmao, and hmm new characters in the next chapter huh? i'm glad that my comment made you happy ;w; simultaneously waking up to your reply made me really happy too >:D i am but a humble reader, so long replies make my day too 👍
i'm not joking when i say that this story is amazing ! your writing is oddly poetic to be honest lmao, there's just so many quotable paragraphs here
this story got me hooked so i'll definitely be anticipating the future chapters to come. on a side note though,, that ambiguous/open ending tag has been haunting me ever since chapter one. i'm already attached to the characters so my optimistic self hopes that the open ending is on the sweeter side but who knows, huh?
