Gomenasai wakarimasen.
Okay, sorry that i've been neglecting the fic for the better part of two months now. Actually, i haven't really been neglecting it so much as just re-writing it a little bit at a time. I've been going through all the previous chapters and doing little bits of improvement and maintenance here and there as i've noticed a lot of errors, typos, misspeled words, crappy grammar and the whole shebang. I haven't posted the edited chapters yet but they'll be up soon enough. You guys really won't be missing much, aside from several rewritten scenes and a lot of dialogue changes but they won't be affecting the story that much.
Looks like i've got a lot to answer for. Okay, Lunar wants to know the story behind the title "Wings of Tomorrow". I didn't mean for it to sound epic (as she so eloquently states), insofar as just to sound cool. No, the title was influenced by several factors including a PS1 game, an anime intro song, a certain anime with a certain lead femme, my own fascination with Angels (yep, that little aspect of Hitomi also came from me) and my personal predilection for stuff with wings.
First influence is the scene, in the game Xenogears, in which Fei, Bart, Margie and Citan are standing on the balcony of the second floor of the Nisan Cathedral, overlooking the giant statues of a man and a woman with only one wing each. At first, the party mistakes them for Angels but upon closer inspection, they are really humans. This conversation then ensues:
[i]Citan:Yes, this is breathtaking! Light from outside shining through the stained glass of the
cathedral's front... What a brilliant piece of artistry this is.
Margie: Did you notice that the two great angels only have one wing each...? According to a legend handed down in Nisan
