How Sunohara calls Kappei

To make things realistic...

• Sunohara calls Kappei a "cute one" rather than "her" or "girl" so as to not let Kappei realize Sunohara thinks Kappei's a girl. Reason for this usage is that, if he were to use those pronouns, Kappei should have realized it earlier, but this goes against the text so I've left it as such. Just for the record, Japanese don't really use pronouns that define gender as often as we do (or rather have a lack of it), so we're left having to make do.
• When Sunohara whispers/talks with Tomoya alone, Kappei isn't around so usage of "her" or "girl" is realistic. Also at the same time, since Tomoya knows Kappei is a guy, yet wants to screw around with Sunohara, it's probably okay for him to call Kappei a girl only when Kappei isn't around.
• Once Sunohara realizes Kappei's a guy, he should be referring to Kappei as a guy, up until...
• Sunohara starts going into denial.

In regards to #4, when Sunohara starts going into denial (should be Scene 5F or so), it's kind of hard to determine whether or not he should be calling Kappei "her" or a "girl", especially since the terms he's using are leaning towards such an implication. Any ideas on this one guys?

I think cutey or cute face might sound better. About the part where Sunohara discovered that Kappei's a guy and had accepted that fact, I think it's best to use the term for guys and also, since his aware that his swinging to the other side of the realm because of his feeling >_< --DGreater1 6:38AM Friday (8:00+ GMT)

Treatment

Please do not read this section until you have at least seen Section 5L. 

I wanted to quickly discuss this while it was still fresh in my mind before translating this part...

[1]

It is possible for the cells in the tumor to be killed off using liquid nitrogen, but unfortunately the link I have here dates back to 2003 and therefore is quite outdated, so I don't have much information on how much more effective this technique is. Though I imagine, since it's 2003, and CLANNAD was released in 2004, that the technique was still being evaluated. The article above suggests that the technique was being devised in Japan (the three people in question being part of Kanazawa University).

Having said that, limb removal is actually not the only option that Kappei had here; it was just used exaggeratingly in this route for dramatic purposes... another alternative would have been chemotherapy (e.g., being pumped full of medicine for nine months that makes you lose hair and such).

For the sake of dramatic and storyline reasons, it is quite probable that the circumstances revolving around medical development in CLANNAD are purely fictional, and thus such a "miraculous" treatment could be considered offensive to those that are currently suffering from osteosarcoma. For this reason, it is highly probable that when a patch for this game comes out, I will put a disclaimer at the beginning declaring the story being purely fictional, with all events in the real world being coincidential if similar in any way to CLANNAD. Although such a disclaimer was not put in the original game, it is probably for the best.
