Well, as you can see, this is constantly a work in progress, and i've
gotta make a lot of other fixes for this chapter, so no hurry ^_^...

I'm still a little hazy on how the 'retroactive' thing works, but
lately a lot of folks have been telling me this. I get the feeling
that, because Suiren is composed of a bunch of 'scenes' that don't
always flow together smoothly, it would probably work better as a
single, long chapter. I intentionally chop off one scene and show
resolution (or post-resolution) in a later, non-adjacent scene all the
time -_-;...

I'm pleased that the new scene seems to work, though ^_^. That's one
less thing i need to worry about...

Eheh... perhaps the secret is that i _despise_ expository prose, so i
try to weave it into dialogue. It's better for the characters to tell
the reader things they need to know than for me to do it. It also
probably helped in this case because i was trying to feel out Ino as a
character, both in her relationship to Sakura and just as herself.
Before writing this scene, Ino wasn't really firmed up in my mind very
well. For better or for worse, Suiren is about the characters more
than it is about the events, so i guess i sort of lean more towards
character interaction than action or drama ^_^;...
