> Btw, some small trivia: The creation of Anna was something I thought of a week ago Friday while watching a certain anime I'm going to make people guess. It was a funny coincidence that I started writing it around the same time you posted Shadowrat, because her introduction and the excuse behind it that Dan Drury gave seem to play right into what's next.
