@jebb: thank you so much! lordling and lyricist are one of my favorite song pairings from cherubim. my only regret is not getting a chance to use more of the latter.

@doc chidori: thank you x2! this community is so damn good at animation, and comedy, and dramatics, and i think this forum might be a damn good place to share tips on how to make flashes like this, because we certainly learned a lot doing it!
