Author's Notes:
The scene with Tomoyo and Kendappa was included partially to fulfill this story's Bechdel quota -- in other words, a conversation between two women, who talk to each other, for more than 30 seconds, about something other than a man. Technically this may still not qualify since they are discussing a man -- Kurogane -- but since they aren't discussing him in a romantic context, and the main point of the conversation is still about them going to war, I think I'm still in the clear.
