so her mom died. That makes more sense. What business would Kage have in Sola though? I thought he seemed really home sick in the last story, but I don't think he is the type to abandon his daughter. Great story!

What happened to Akane's family, and was that boy Akiu's son?

I get it now. Tora died, but how old was Akane?

One thing I got confused about is, in this chapter it says that her father has mahogany hair and in the other story Kage had red hair, I thought, so is her father not kage?

this first part is a little confusing. I think the girl is blind, may be? and that she might be Tora's child?
