312:Remain Positive

Author Notes
(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. ^_^
