Sometimes it takes a minute to sink in.

I wanted to include a beat panel, but I didn't have space when I squeezed the panels. But then I messed up and couldn't "unsqueeze" them. So I squeezed a little more and then shrank the beat panel. It works. I think.

So James, new name that, is apparently on the soccer team, which we know considers Kyung "one of the guys". (According to Shaun.) More subtlely, Shaun (and possibly the team) are the only ones who call Kyung "Ky", but James chose not to do that before asking. Okay, that meant something in my head.

I did a quick look at my character page. I knew James's character didn't have a name. (I joke there about naming him in a contest -- but I wouldn't get enough entries.) Surprisingly, there is no James mentioned on the page. I figured it 50-50 that there would be.

So is this the start of something? Is it the end of something? Is it me moving on to another chapter?

Maybe to all of those.
