A GIANT AUTHOR'S NOTE
A little explanation needed for the ending of the oneshot. It was meant to be subtle but I suppose it was too subtle.
Notice how the man Tomoyo was talking to never really confirmed he was Eriol? She also pointed out that he was acting un-Eriol-like and he even told her it was different this time (because he wasn't Eriol)
"Miss Daidouji?"
"You're being formal again. You always used to call me Tomoyo, remember?"
"These are different circumstances, Miss."
And he was wearing a white coat and he had brown eyes. Eriol obviously has blue eyes.
The white coat was meant to be a clue that it wasn't Eriol.
"Eriol, why are you wearing white? You said you hated wearing white."
And what do white coats usually represent?
DOCTORS! smiles insanely
And the behaviour Tomoyo was displaying?
INSANITY! smiles like a doctor
More clues!
"Eriol! I knew you'd come back," she murmured. She backed away for a second with a scowl on her face. "Doesn't mean I forgive you though," she scolded.
Her companion just smiled softly. "Miss Daidouji, I'm glad I found you," he held her awkwardly as she dove into his arms. A look of pity crossed his face.
He huggled her awkwardly and had pity for her. He didn't seem to know her like she knew "Eriol". He didn't really answer to the name Eriol either. He also didn't say anything about being back or ever being away. It seemed like she went missing for awhile.
Missing from where? I wonder…
Insane girl + doctor (white-coat) ???
…INSANE ASYLUM! YAY!

Okay, those were my author's notes. Like hate 'em, didn't read 'em. Makes no difference. I just got a review 'bout Eriol not having brown eyes so I thought I ought to explain the symbolism of the white coat and got carried away. ;
