Two Guys Walk Into A Bar... - ...ONLY ONE LEAVES. Searching Thailand for news of Sakura, Frei adopts the costume of a Buddhist monk to move about the country.

New Chapter - Seven years ago, Frei Tsukitomi-Renard and his mother Isis had an argument, one that resulted in their separation and the divergence of their lives. In those seven years, neither has contacted the other, each afraid that the person they had become would be rejected, found wanting.

An Open Mind - There's so much for Frei to deal with emotionally in the wake of the Southtown occupation: the death of his clones, the potential death of Jiro, the 'spiritual' death of Kula, and an invitation to take part in something to prevent that sort of thing from happening again in the first place.

Between Heaven and Earth - When someone loses something important, it's common to search for it high and low. Where could it have gone? Over time, unfound, the search turns to a process of grief. Why was I abandoned? However, there are also those lucky few who instead stop looking, and start rebuilding. And, in the right situation -- and with the right support -- that can sometimes result in the most miraculous outcome of all: realizing that it wasn't a 'thing' that was lost, but rather... the person. - created on 20:15:49 02/11/2010 by Frei and last modified on 12:16:46 02/12/2010.
