I thought there was something serious going on here, but didn't I mention "we don't know the ASK team, so I'm only taking context from Kalv?" Kalv has long since lost contact with them. In fact, yes, he is the author, but at the same time, he doesn't want to admit it. Basically, all his answers, "think as you want," as well as "any traps," give details of a fan's fantasies. Although, considering that Kalv no longer has a connection with the ASK team, he can recognize his novel as canon, but it seems the author himself still thinks that he is a fan.
