Stray Notes
Two of the pictures taken from shiren_kom2's Twitter page. Unfortunately, because of the schedule, I wasn't able to properly ask them for permission, so please send him some love!

Correction on 15:00 - *commodities, not communities
I messed up on pronounciation on some things - my apologies!
This is not supposed to be a deep dive into heteroglossia (hell, I don't even scratch the surface), but rather to get heteroglossia kicking to get people thinking about it. I think some might find my use of heteroglossia in the context of space to be monoglossic, specifically in mind that I'm focusing *just* on space, but the reason why emphasize *just* space is to show the various vantage points that set up the network of the work. This ISN'T the only way to read both works, because these aren't the ONLY ways to get into them!
I wanted to be a brief exploration into seichi junrei, there's a lot more stuff than just this, and there's a lot of different threads that are really worth checking out!
The locations I showed in the video aren't even HALF of the locations! I just wanted to stress that there are, and if you google pretty much any trips, you can find a lot of locations in Oomachi, Kizaki-ko, and Matsumoto!
