Your stories are always so well thought out, so detailed, there's a visible (readable?) effort in every single aspect of the environment the characters inhabit, as well as the characters themselves. Even if the world differs from the real one, it's always grounded in a way that people don't really notice.
With my earlier post i wanted to point out some things that stood out to me as being "uncharacteristically unadressed": Little things which just seem odd to omit, at least to me, as if a little bit of the grounding i mentioned earlier is missing. It was only meant as constructive criticism.
Reading my post back however i have to admit that it came across a lot more negative than i had intended, for which i can only profusely apologize.
I still enjoy this story, as i do all your stories.
