1) It's four years in the manga, so it's either an alternate universe that branched out after Yuuko's death or the same universe as the manga but with an elongated time-frame (i.e. they have the exact same conversation 10 years from now in the OAD and 4 years from now in the manga).
2) I thought it was just a message. Wasn't there something about the payment being delivered through the girl's mouth? I watched a version subbed in Portuguese and at first I thought "the girl" referred to Kohane, instead of the video girl speaking in third person (or something speaking through her).
Does that release Watanuki from having to stay in the shop/never aging?
In Tsubasa manga continuity, I'd say that it doesn't, because having to stay in the shop wasn't payment for waiting for Yuuko; that was Watanuki sort of killing two birds with one stone. It's the accomplishment of Syaoran's quest that would release himself and Watanuki from their prices, I think. But that's never been mentioned in xxxHolic.
Watanuki looks damned good in Yuuko mode.OH

Yes, they're great, but 10 years is a long time to be stuck in the same routine. Well, I;m such a diehard Doumeki/Watanuki shipper, I'm just glad to see then still close (and not married to girls) 10 years on. ^_^
I don't know... Maybe it's just me, but I find the whole thing very confusing. Going only by xxxHolic, it looks as if being locked in the shop was the price for being able to wait for Yuuko (presumably because it'd take more than a normal lifespan, see my comment below). But that's also the price for escaping in TRC; and if he's already stuck in time/space anyway, why would he need to pay anything to wait? It's not like he can do anything else.

They're married to each other! Mokona said so! Not to mention sending everyone to sleep while he waits for Doumeki. ^_-
Hi, I've just watched this and I have to say this is my fav xxxHolic OAD ever. I have a question: is this manga canon as well? Because as far as I read, Yuko has not come back yet.
