Thanks for citing the sources :) it clears up the matter considerably.

The reworded version is vastly superior to the original in every way. It is the original that is unwieldy. Contrast the original:
\\\"While no time travel is involved, the lack of FTL communications effectively means that the past Mikako is sending messages to the future Noboru.\\\"
with the revision:
\\\"Time travel is not explicitly involved, but the lack of FTL communications means that past Mikako is essentially sending messages to future Noboru.\\\"

As for \\\'\\\'Through the Years and Far Away\\\'\\\'\\\'s performer, I\\\'ll let that slide.
