Ye gods, I was not counting on this chapter taking this long to finish. >_< Wasn't counting on it turning into a single scene that went on for very nearly six thousand words either. It's been a real chapter for underestimation. I'm so very sorry.Just a quick side note to since there've been quite a lot of people pointing out typos in the last ( Read more... )

Your Tomoyo is brilliantly Terrifying! She's just like some insane politician. All serene justifications that trample over everything.

She is, isn't she? She's like the ultimate politician who's actually mastered the art of fooling everyone, or who's just close enough to right that she doesn't need to fool people most of the time.

The age thing is just an additional creepy factor. @_@

You have to wonder what the regular Complex residents make about that - it can't be common knowledge. But I just can't picture her being older than how we've seen her in Tsubasa, so there needed to be some kind of explanation.

I can't believe she offered them a place, wow - she must really want Watanuki. I guess it's also because unlike the girls, Watanuki can actually communicate with the ghosts.

She has plenty of reasons for it (which she certainly went on about at sufficient length), and she does want the girls too - Watanuki mostly stands out because he's had the most success getting practical results out of talking to the dead. But with someone like Tomoyo it's nearly impossible to ever tell for sure what her real motive is for anything, and there is more left to be said on that subject yet. Which is another thing to be dealt with in that next chapter I'm determined to get out faster this time. ^^;
