My goal with Aiko has always been to present a realistic and respectful portrayal of a person who has been adopted. As you know, I try to avoid being too dour, but I do think it's worth acknowledging that even in the 'best' circumstances, there can be complications. She's happy with the life she has, but her life circumstances have impacted her, just the same as anyone else, regardless of their birth. This path for her will definitely have her confronting some latent feelings, and I hope how things play out feel engaging and authentic and not shoehorned in.
Tadame is one who has been very elusive for a while. There are certain things I've been fairly sure about for a while, but there were other things I wasn't so sure about. Now that that's been sorted out, I'm looking forward to sharing her story after this one is over.
