interlude before the spoilers

The next chapter to be released will be a quick interlude. It will be released very soon; I just need to make another revision pass with fresh eyes.

The next few chapters will have serious plot development. I am both excited and terrified. The previous chapters have been a lot of development, some filler, and a lot of setup and I can't wait to make it pay off. The fact that a huge status quo shakeup is on the horizon makes me nervous. I don't want people to hate it.

But the story must go on. So get ready!
