Dear readers,

Thank you very much for reading this story. Don't worry, this isn't another chapter. I just felt that I needed to answer a question that I got, and explain a thing or two.

First off, my dear, dear Arizo said to me after she read the final chapter of Tokaimoya, 'why didn't Pai just teleport them back?' The explanation for this was something that I meant to put in the story somewhere, but I couldn't really find a place for. The reason why Pai didn't teleport them back is because during his travels, he began to rely less and less on his alien powers, mostly due to the fact that he felt that Retasu wasn't interested in him because he wasn't human. So, perhaps out of habit, or perhaps out of wanting to seem more 'normal', they took the train. In the original plan for my story, I was going to have him cut his ears off, but I decided that was a little too gruesome and strange.

Second, another thing that I just wasn't able to include, was more details of why Retasu thought she was pregnant, and ran, as opposed to seeking help. As I mentioned, in the beginning of the story, Retasu was involved with Ryou. And, as you might have noticed in the last chapter, Pai was remembering when he going to give Retasu her present, he almost walked in on Retasu and Ryou 'making love'. One thing that I didn't talk about though, was that it wasn't quite consensual, and Retasu was pressured into it. Pai was a little too heartbroken to focus on the details and see that Retasu wasn't happy.

Thanks for reading! I hope that you enjoyed 'Tokaimoya'.

Sincerely, Zen.
