Buddhist Monkey (whose real name is still a mystery) has been one of the most complicated characters to re-write in this new edition, since we've had to investigate more to understand him better, and although his intoductory chapter will keep him limited by the old decisions, I think I feel much more satisfied with him this time (no mention I can draw monkeys much better ). Originally, Master Monkey (which is how we're going to call him in Sweet Lullaby) had a certain condescending air that bothered me quite a bit when I had to read his dialogues again, he was very sermonizing and not very impartial at certain points, leaving us quite clear that in order to correctly write to a wise character, the writer itself must be so too, at least to a certain extent.

Despite of all we have improved since then, and how remarkably easier writing has become, much of what you see here relies on projection: What would I do if I was in the place of a certain character? What would I say if I was feeling as overwhelmed as Flaky, and in turn, what would I say to comfort Flaky without making her feel pressured, while at the same time, retaining the intention of the orignal.

It's clear that there are still lots to be learned, but seen that way, I think it was actually beneficial for the comic to let it wait for a while.
