(I know this isn’t a chapter page, but we’re technically on Chapter 14 now. This is a flow thing. Chapter page comes a little later this time. ^_^)

To start, I don’t want to hear any “Where’s Rudy?” He’ll be in the next page. I originally considered having this be a twofer with the next one to include everyone in one go, but look at this. There is so much going on in this one page as is. A second page like this would be too much. Maybe not for you, but definitely for me.

To address all the points: Yes, we will see Aiken again someday. Maybe things will change, maybe they won’t. Life is like that. But there’s only one way to find out. Also, we haven’t heard the last of Kellen either. I mean, you can probably take a fair guess, but we still don’t really know what she thinks. Again, only time will tell.

With Gavin: Nothing like a couple of gamers trying out a new console (especially in that period where it’s still new and Rain is the only kid on her block to own one). Although, sometimes playing the old favorites is fun too (it shouldn’t need to be said what they’re losing to at this point).

With the girls: The “Kaminari x Aneko pairing” brought up here has been mentioned once before, long ago. But not since. Hence Rain’s surprise. I actually wanted to continue to make a big deal about this alleged pairing at that time, but haven’t really had as many opportunities to include Kaminari stuff in the story as I originally thought I would. This is subject to change though. You never know.

With Kylie: I used to think like Rain. I used to totally want to have periods (I’m sure a lot of the cis female readers probably think I’m crazy, but this is not at all uncommon among transgirls). Somewhere along the line though (probably thanks to virtually every female friend I’ve ever had having nothing nice to say about periods), I changed my mind. Especially since today, I realize that not having one doesn’t make me any less of a woman. Really, I try to look at the bright side and call it one of the “perks” of being a transgirl. ^_^

Liriel Rain Bryer:

The rest of the year came and went. I didn't see my brother again during that time, so I don't know where he went or what he's doing now.

Liriel Rain Bryer:

According to Aunt Fara, my sister barely reacted to my situation. Apparently, she gave a quick "I have to go" and that's the last we're heard from her since either.

Liriel Rain Bryer:

I remained depressed, but I tried to keep positive, and just enjoy my vacation like I wanted to in the first place.

Liriel Rain Bryer:

Thank god for my friends. I don't know how I'd manage without them.

Liriel Rain Bryer:

Gavin and I gamed a bit, both new school...
