I'm (mostly) alive again.

The credit sequences are done, putting us at a grand total of nine minutes and forty five seconds, out of ten minutes maximum. Aw yeah.

We also have a title: The Grace of Tears. (Subtitle: A Passion Play.) After idly poking around for good quotes from the Bible or Shakespeare, I realized that I was forgetting one of my favorite -- and in this case amazingly relevant -- sources of name-phrases: the Malleus Maleficarum. ('Solemn Words' came from there, as well as 'By Means of Further Witchcraft', an unfinished short story.) It turns out that witches can't cry, because 'it can be said that the grace of tears is one of the chief gifts allowed to the penitent'. Woo! Sometimes you hunt titles, sometimes they ambush you.

I have a bit under five hours effective time left, which can all be spent polishing to my heart's content. Having production values kicks ass.
