Sorry I didn't mention but I've been at a convention for the past few days and so that's why I haven't been around. I should return to normal activity tomorrow.
One thing I've been fighting against is including anything for Yaichiro's personal development in the Sakura II plot. While I still have no plans to make it Yaichiro-centric or anything, I may need to add flavors that impact him more personally...play him not as purely as a GMNPC as I have been so I can enjoy myself a bit more.
