OH absolutely! I am actually quite eager to find out your thoughts on my interpretation of the story. I think it signifies a very well written story to keep the reader guessing and leaving clues here and there about the true nature of the characters and the plot. It leaves a lot for the reader to put together, but it also allows plenty of room for the reader to be dead wrong :) Which I may very well be!  I did change the wording a bit about the ambiguous nature of the curse with Mikey when I added the last piece on relationships (but dang it I keep forgetting the timestamp and comments), but bring on the discussion!  I hate to think he was not cursed at all and was simply emotionally stunted by grief BUT I can see how it would be possible. He was cut by the sword but had no other contact with it like the rest of them, and that has always left the possibility open (in my mind) that he did escape the effects.

But don't worry about making any edits. I am hardly a writer and am not the best at editing (although I really do try) so I would not be offended in the least. And I love discussions about anything related to Gaiden, not just Mikey. That is what makes it so wonderful - is it worth discussing and offers plenty of opportunity with all the different characters and plots and relationships!! Plus there is nothing better than learning about someone else's viewpoint or analysis that opens up a whole new world to think about on my own!
