I considered being more precise about the years when I first started out, but it's too hard, but each day equaling a year, etc. Sim time and aging is so odd, and I like the sim realism of the transitions better, anyway.

The idea of Ophelia ending up with Tank is interesting. I think I've seen that once before (and there was that little flicker in my story too). Great idea.

I should be able to read French fairly well, but I haven't touched it since grade 10. Shame on me. I could try to pick up the plot from the images, though.
