I feel like now is the time to mention the way this story has gone is just bonkers. It started off as an out of character conversational piece which I wanted to do in my spare time with someone because I needed something else to occupy my attention. It's become...this. It's why the characters changed from the early chapters - me and Jazz117Volkov found their voices and sank them into who they were more.

It's taught me quite a lot about my own characters, actually. Helped me understand them and how they act more, while he got a platform to find who they were. Seems that he brought the method, I brought the madness.
