That's pretty awesome. I mean aside from being off on an island separate from the mainland but hey, you're living the Sora Life in a way. I've considered something like that for some years, though between finances and other factors by the time I'm done I don't think I can do JET. A co-worker at one of my previous jobs sent me a bunch of links for various organizations that do the same though, so it's something I'll investigate once I wrap up the last requisite for my degree.

Yeah they're all very interesting, and I'm enjoying gradually learning more about them. Alice is definitely my favorite, and her struggle reminds me a little of 2B with respect to "the only way to stay sane is repress hard", though with her own distinctions. What I'm most curious about is whether the characters are amalgamations of various interpretations of their author's work, since Alice's Paladin job story is an allusion to American McGee's Alice. So many questions remain. Gotta tell me who your favorite is when you decide! Our local Julius likes Snow best.
