OMG! I can't believe this has over a million views now. Thank you all so much! I'm so honored, and it makes my day to read your comments. As much as I'd love to follow up on this story, I'm afraid I don't have the resources or the time to make another fully animated short on my own. Maybe one day I can revisit these characters again, but for now I have some other projects in the works :)
