This was so nice! Ahhhh, adorable! I know you said it was meant to be vague, but can I ask why Gerard went back to earth for 11 years and didn't contact Frank? Just me being annoyinly curious. :-)

Thank you :) And maybe you should read the sequel-thingy, 'Earth and sun' (really more of a prequel/parallel commentary) It'll give the story a little more flesh to the bones :)
