Roast...

-_-;; The heat's back today and tomorrow... Hopefully that's it though. I'm just not used to this sort of heat anymore. >_<; I think it's a good thing I don't live in Japan anymore. I don't think I could handle the heat and humidity out there. ^^;

Anyhow, the Kokumono timeline has been updated. I filled in stuff from story 2 especially, so

More Shouka! That is exciting :-) It'll be really interesting to learn more from that time period.

I hope the heat lets go and you get better weather soon.

(P.S. I have a question, and it's really silly, but it's been bothering me for a while--and I probably should know the answer to it...-- Why does Ryuuki refer to himself as "we" in the anime? I know he has some childhood trauma and I wonder if it has to do with that, or if it's part of his whole don't-let-people-know-that-you're-smart act, or maybe I'm way off the mark *ponders*)

It's called the "royal we" that is often used by monarchs etc. when referring to themself. FWIW, there are a number of different ways used in the anime/novels to refer to self that unfortunately can't be translated well because English is limited in that area. Offhand, I can think of: watashi (most common), watakushi (more formal than watashi), ore (Ensei and Kouyuu - very rough male usage), boku (Hakumei - young male usage, very common), warawa (Shuurei's mother - humble female usage, archaic), maro (Official Wa - "we superiors", archaic), yo (Ryuuki)

Thank you so much for the fantastic explanation. It all makes so much more sense now :-)
