In a few chapters, and the concordance, there's the word "romanji", which is an incorrect spelling of "romaji".  I used to spell it that way too, because it's the kind of word you learn early when dealing with Japanese and accidentally apply English morphology rules to it.  Japanese would rather just throw the nouns together in a compound than make an adjective form.
In Chapter 5, you have "Fire bees".  That should either be "obscured FireBees and buildings" or the more amusing "obscured fire, bees, and buildings"
And just a comment on Chapter 4:
Quote:Yelena Brzezinski. She'd been 25.

A singer and dancer who'd just received her first big break by
getting cast in a production on MegaTokyo's equivalent of
Broadway. It was a revival of a musical that I'd never heard of,
first produced twenty years earlier in 2016. She'd gone to the
Replicants concert with her boyfriend to celebrate getting the
part. The boyfriend was in the hospital, in serious condition
but expected to make it.
She was just cast in Hamilton and was violently killed before her time.  Now that's irony.
Reread has been very fun so far, thanks again for writing!
