Why is she working in Tokyo?  The entire world was under the ice, right?
 That means there should be millions of people all over the world in
need of relief efforts.  Why does Tokyo get the special treatment?

Because someone who only speaks Japanese probably wouldn't be a lot of use
outside Japan?

Because Serenity likely lacks much in the way of transport capabilities in
the aftermath of the ice?

Maybe because she just happened to be one of the people stationed
in Tokyo, and others are elsewhere?

Well, the youma-killer seemed to think it was their only option.  He
must have had some reason to think they couldn't bargain or negotiate
with her.  It might not be a good reason, but he knew how powerful she
was.  It seems logical that if he believed anything but an all-out
attack would work, he would have tried it.

Quite possibly they thought that trying to negotiate would only reveal
themselves (assuming Serenity doesn't know about them already)?
 

But if you're still here, that means he didn't succeed.  There's no
if-then in time travel.

Then what does Pluto do? Oh, and I don't think the fic actually states,
in any way, that he's already gone to the past while she's talking.
She's 
just commenting on the things he could do while in the past. He's
probably
still writing. In my opinion, of course.

Assuming only one time stream and instantaneous changing of the time
stream.  Time Travel involves a lot of confusing metaphysics :)

Yup, we know all about that here on the FFML. We do it all the time.
Time. Heh, heh.
