It was really interesting to read your author's notes. I liked the moon scene too - I think that scene really shows the sense of wonder that Sai has, as well as the reality of what it would mean to have a being who is so very old experiencing modern life.

Hahah, the frog hatred! I asked some of my Japanese co-workers about this, and they immediately made faces (a man and a woman). Apparently they hated the little suction cups on the frog fingers' or something. I'll have to remember to work that into my story.

The frog hatred should be a fic XD If someone wrote it, I would love them forever. It's just the kind of thing that would happen to Sai, a ghost being haunted! (by frogs) XD Oh god, can you imagine Sai at self-help group? "Hello. I am Sai." "Hello, Sai!" "I... have a problem." XDD

Yup, I am! :D
