To Confused: First panel - Takashi's been waiting to see what that mysterious phone call was all about, but nothing has happened. He's talking out loud in case she's still asleep watching. He goes to bed, falls asleep instantly (as usual), and the first thing he sees is "the cute jerk" (the guy who told her her father was dead). Flash back to his sleeping face, then another shot of Elanor, in the jeep with the soldier, saying she's "only going to the bar..." at which point he's shocked out of his sleep by at least two people abducting him.
It's possible that it's just a prank by some friends, though I think it a horrible joke. We know he's gotten at least ONE letter from America, when Elanor sent him her hair. I have no idea how paranoid the Japanese were about that kind of thing, but I think it was probably pretty high. On the other hand, the Japanese government/military would simply have taken him in for questioning without playing games. So this is almost certainly a 'civilian' thing. I admit to being completely in the dark as to who's doing this...
To Megii -- all I know is that the military are compulsive about numbering and labelling equipment - so it's probably just a number.

The hand in that last panel is just...wow. That whole last panel is absolute love. I don't know what else to say, except I'm crazy about this story, and it's hard to be patient waiting for pages once a week. It's just that amazing! You both are brilliant, never stop doing what you do.

It's an American military jeep, I think that's Elanor and the jerk soldier. How curious...
Bungalow_Bill

The number on the jeep is just its serial number, all military vehicles have them. The U.S.A. (United States Army) and the stars mark it as military.
The uniform insignia is all wrong. I can't even tell if he's a private or a junior officer. If that's a silver oak leaf on his collar in panel 4 then he is incredibly young to be a lieutenant colonel, and it belongs on his shoulder epaulet, not his collar, which should have a gold disk with US on it.
His hair... the only way he could have his hair that long is if he's part of the Signal Corps, is assigned to code-breaking duty, and they let him be eccentric because he's a genius at cryptanalysis, but that's a very long stretch.
And Elanor, an Army brat whose father works in military intelligence, would know all this.
Yes, I'm over-analyzing this.

I feel like he's being abducted to a strip club or something silly like that. What else could they mean by "All your dreams will come true tonight"? I suppose it could also be some sort of radical political party's idea of recruiting: Call someone with a cryptic message so that they know to expect the unexpected, then kidnap them in the middle of the night.

Maybe it's not related to their superpower, someone simply kidnapped him. In this case, adventure ensues. On the other hand, that voice was talking about "dreams", that is suggestive. In this case, mystery ensues.

Whoa! His dream coming true is to be gagged and kidnapped or something? And what a suckish thing to see Elanor doing. I'm pretty sure there's going to be some major miscommunication, and Takashi's going to be heartbroken and sad and captured, and then when Elanor finds out she'll get all worried! This is such a well written and drawn story! So complex. It can really evoke emotions in others. Great job!

OMG OMG OMG!!! I hope he doesn't think she's like "cheating on him" if that's what you can call it at this point... and I'm nervous for him! But then again, it was their birthday. Maybe it's a birthday prank by Takashi's military bunk mates or whatever and the jerk guy is lying to her to get her out of the house so her father can set up a surprise birthday party? Or possibly they found out that he's been trying to contact an American? OR!! OOOOOOO!!! Maybe the dad went "missing" because he's been sent on a top secret military mission to kidnap the general's son which just so happens to be Takashi!! That would be an interesting way for them to meet! She springs him out of an American prison! HA!

Actually I noticed the uniform thing too. Though I was thinking, it seems really strangely important for her to be driven some where by a Lt. Colonel and not by something of a lower rank. I assumed the difference in uniform is from their parallelish world (or artistic licence!).

He's going to get a good thrashing I guess. Too pro-American, hell, just rambling in English in Japan in those days was a bit unhealthy. He's apparently not a good subject of the divine emperor. So they'll make sure he'll remember about the ABCD encirclement and the "blue-eyed devils".

I think they are both being kid-napped and taken to surprise B-Day Parties. Well, that's what I hope anyway. Those are kind of cruel methods to get someone to their own party though. Good luck to both of them! XOXO

Your "dreams"? but... they don't dream. What they see while they are supposed to be dreaming, they already assume is true. At best, this kidnapping'll be an initiation into his eighteenth year, at worst, well, I don't have that sort of imagination.

Mambomiranda, for future reference they don't communicate telepathically. When he is asleep, he can see/hear what she does. When she is asleep, she can see/hear what he does. :)
Sometimes I think a lot of people might be breezing through these just for the beautiful graphics...stop and read those words too! This story is just as awesome as the art, fellas.

Heh -- Bobby commented but maybe a little too cryptically for you. You need to reread this comic from the beginning. They do NOT communicate by thought. They spend their sleeping hours seeing through the other's eyes, hearing with their ears, feeling with their skin. But they can only communicate VERBALLY or by writing notes. That's why Takashi is talking out loud - so she'll know what's going on (if she's sleeping -- he has no way to know, other than pre-arranged sleep times. Though I imagine that over the years they've long since established a sleep pattern so they know the USUAL times the other will be asleep and watching.) Since he's been awake until much later than his normal sleep time - he probably knows nothing of this soldier's original approach to Elanor. Remember, that entire scene of him at the door took place while Takashi was on that sailboat -- he was awake and therefore unaware.
We are missing the "negotiations" between Elanor and that soldier-boy -- whatever he did to persuade her to accompany him to the bar happened "off camera." I am unsure if it's the same day. There's an 8-hour difference between California and Japan (plus a day, but that just confuses the issue...) so for him to be back "by noon" means he would be back by 8pm her time. It looks like sunset when she opens the door for the soldier-boy. The jeep scenes are oddly lit, so that could be "street lighting" or something. But for Takashi to say he "couldn't stay up anymore" implies that it's very late at night for him. So I'm really confused about the passage of time, here. If it's midnight to him, it would be 8am for Elanor...
Not to mention... what on earth did that boy do to convince Elanor to give him the time of day, let alone GO somewhere with him? Hmmm.

I think that, since it's his birthday, his dad enrolled him in the military. I heard that they use to do that in the war days. So: Yes, he's probably being kidnapped. :3

I've been reading this comic for sometime now,and i can say that i have fallen in love with the story and the art as well. I'm very picky when it comes to comics,i'll only read it if the art is good and i will only continue to read it if the story is as good as the art. At first when i noticed that this comic only updated on Mondays i was a tad bit sad,but then i came to like the fact that it updates at the beginning of the week since it makes me want to re-read the rest of the comic.

Yah, he's probably being impressed (kidnapped) into the Japenese Navy. That was something that the Japenese did a lot at this time (right before WWII). He might even be abducted to serve in the army, although generally the Navy did the most kidnapping.

My personal guess is that they're checking out the Pubs to try and find her father. The sentence which was cut off probably ended in something like "If my father's not there then..."
Okay, being able to show the emotions of confusion and jealousy, all while the character's eyes are -closed-? I am very very impressed. Been impressed with the facial expressions in much of this comic since I started reading it last month.
I look forward to more.
