[@McHaggis] Er, a little late, but I want to congratulate you on your win! It was well deserved! And of course, [@Keyguyperson]'s entry was well deserving of the runner-up spot~

[@Esoteric] Hm. If it was a grandfather reading me the story while I sat and listened attentively, then I do believe I probably would have gotten more invested than I did. I'm not entirely sure you managed to convey that feel. But, even if you did, it is very difficult to become emotionally invested into something so... so... alien. XD

Regardless, as I said, it was really interesting. You're welcome for the compliments, you deserve them. Well done, still.
