current chapter word count: 4295
scene worked on today: Ko-kun
scene completed? not yet
character finally having his grand entree: Seishiro
character being slightly miffed about that: Subaru
character who should be miffed about it, but has given up on that: Ko-kun
research of the day: business etiquette in Japan, official address forms, uchi-soto
quote of the day: "The current situation is difficult."
related side-note: this time, I'm almost 100% sure I got all of the researched issues wrong. Especially, since I found way more "how to talk shop with Westerners" text than about "what is considered proper manners without them" and whether or not there's a difference when it's not straight forward business matters but involves public state service folks. *sigh*
