A: that is a secret. Q: why does everyone use a flip phone? A: the story takes place in an althernate universe in which smart phones were never invented, because i hate them. think of it like the galapagos effect in regard to Japanese cellphones, but if phones developed that way worldwide (although a few characters do use dated flip phones similar to older Western ones). Q: how old is everyone in YINZ CITY? A: a very informal list of ages starting at Issue 1-- Seti - 23 Kit - 19 Sage - unclear; somewhere in their 20s Isaiah - 25 Nabokov - 19 Fiona - 24 Miller - 25 Shelley - ?????????

Q: Didn't Isaiah's name used to be Misha? Are they the same character? A: yes and yes. i think Isaiah is a cuter name. Misha is his dead name, both canonically and on a meta level.
