Setsuna's never been stupid, really -- reckless, short-sighted, and amazingly oblivious, sure, but not stupid. He has a gift for finding his way to the heart of a problem, when he really needs to. Sara shares that talent, but I think it's always easier to cut through somebody else's problem than to unravel your own, and for whatever reason (perhaps being male and therefore less socially conditioned to care about ageing and appearance and stuff?) I think Setsuna would be less emotionally bothered by getting weird reactions from their immortal friends as he and Sara grow old.
I had fun with the little phone and lock thing, and the music -- they are there exactly to show the passage of time! :-) Really, I should go back and edit the physical mailbox out entirely and, I dunno, change the mention of phone calls to conference videos or something, but that can wait for when I've finished the remaining seven fics in this series.
