Definitely no nekos were harmed.
In all honesty, I should have gone with this idea from the beginning. While I like NNN much better, nearly everyone else says this is a better story. But reading it back today, it's obvious that I really rushed it. So many typos and repeated phrases made it into the text.
If I had done this story from the start, I could have given it more polish and given Saionji a better character arc. As it is, I feel like I ended up with two stories that fall short of having what it takes to make finals, instead of one good story that has a shot. Xyrite is too unpolished, and NNN was too ambitious to write in the contest timeframe and people didn't click with it.
