    I just finished listening.. and it made me cry.. TT__TT
    I think this was a perfect ending to a great story.. It just made sense in a very human way and was really very touching..

    I want to say a huge “Bravo” to everyone who worked on this – the writers, the voice actors, the artist – it all came together wonderfully from beginning to end. Sometimes stories begin very strongly then start falling apart, sometimes the ending is a big let down, sometimes the beginning is hard to get through – it is such a difficult balance to strike, but you hit it right on the head through the whole run..

    Thank you for giving me the pleasure of discovering and following “Awake” – I really hope to hear another story from you ^__^

    And I also really loved the illustration for this chapter – Robbie’s expression is just.. perfect..

    and now I need to go find some more Kleenexes..

    Ahahahhaa!! I totally understand about the fanart! XD I’d love to see that myself! :D
    I couldn’t have told that it was a last minute script, but I also think that you have a real gift for writing and striking that right measure of positive and negative emotions. Agree completely about agent O’Conner too – both him and Toivo came out very human in a very short space.. Keep up the wonderful work! ^^

    LOVED LOVED LOVED it!! :D
    I have to say Emily’s writing and Angi’s style just fit so perfectly.. I really love those short but delicious bits of side story that let you feel a bit more of the characters that we already love.. Angi, I loved how you portrayed Toivo – his tender side translates so so well (and loved the reading the thoughts effect – works great!). So cool! I wish there would be much more of this.. such a treat ^___^ Great work, ladies!

    I just noticed I used the word “love” about a dozen times here… strong feels! XD XD

    Ashamed to say I just caught up – and this is a very beautiful, poetic piece. As a huge fan of Kaoru Mori, it was a treat to see a story with a similar, dreamy vibe, and as Gomidog mentioned, this distinctive, slow passage of time feeling. Beautiful art too – very pure and emotional. I absolutely loved the Saturn piano spread – it is spectacular. Would love to see more from you ^__^

    Catching up on everything, finally >__< Amazing chapter, again.. I really enjoyed how complex and truthful the whole setting is – it feels real, the emotions feel real. I am worried for Robbie and the rest of the crew now.. T__T

    This is such a jem.. *__* Wonderful, light and touching story and I am just absolutely in love with the art as well – simple yet very stylish and so expressive..
    This is my favorite short comic in a long time – I hope we’ll get more stories from Alexis! :D

    I really love this story more and more. It is so well written and balanced and each chapter opens on new paths, which keeps me on my toes. I really love the fact that Zophiel and Solas (arr!! we know your name, Demyan!! :D ) have a history – there is so much potential there!
    Wonderful! :D

    Arrrr! Finally got to listen to this chapter! And it’s great, as usual:D
    I was really surprised by Robbie’s feelings for Hina and how she feels about him – didn’t see that coming at all.
    As for the mystery with Jamilah, I initially thought that she might have had a child and was hiding him/her in her pod, but now my theory is that Rosa killed Navil to save Jamilah, because she loved her. That is why seeing Janelle is hard for her. In that case, Jamilah’s child would be in Navil’s pod. And I am guessing Robbie knows everything and he was the one who helped erase all info about Navil from the system (although I don’t know what convinced him to do that).
    Can’t wait for the next chapter…

    @ Lianne: hmmm… interesting. For my part, I didn’t perceive Demyan as “whiny” – more like fiercely, passionately driven to his counterpart, which makes him very appealing (yes, I am a hopeless romantic, sue me >:D )

    @gomidog: You are very welcome! – Thank you for creating such a wonderful story (I am picky about stories and it’s a real treat when I find one that I really like – which, I have to say, has been happening a lot with Sparkler’s lineup! :D ) As for TCAF, I have been wanting to go for several years, but can’t make it this spring – high hopes for 2015 though! ^^

    This novel is simply EXCELLENT.. I somehow missed the previous chapter – so got a double treat this time. I love everything about this – from the skillful and evocative writing, to extremely compelling characters, to the mysterious plot with a hint of supernatural, to the promise of something even bigger from Demyan and Zophiel’s past. Not to mention the very thorough depiction of a “comrade” country’s mood and reality..
    Please keep this up for a loooong time! :D Absolutely loving this.

    My guess at this point is that Rosa is covering up the death either because she was involved or because Jamilah did it/was involved. Did Navil get jealous when Jamilah got involved with Rosa and was there a fight over that? But I agree with you, Khooliha, it is probably way more complex than that.

    I agree, it is a shame there is not more feedback on Skyglass! I loved it – the space setting with the really unusual premise, and, although I have no idea if we’ll see more of Kri in the future, he completely captivated me. Waiting for Skygalss’ start with impatience! :D

    I absolutely loved this.. the story is shining because of the absolutely loveable characters – all of them are really attaching. The art is beautiful and very expressive and unique. I realized only a while after finishing reading that it is actually a stand-alone short story – it came to life so completely that I was about to write “I can’t wait for the next chapter” – I would like to know more about how things turn out for all of them. And Lottie Dottie? I think it’s the most adorable name ever.. ^_____^
