"tell me, mother
after all of this

just a mere shadow?"

that's the song that capture the better the feeling I was going for this Derideal chapter, and I can say that it ended up inspiring the way I tried to channel the emotions, the lyrics are emotions of "Medeas" sons, who were killed by their mother as part of a greek myth (Jason and the argonauts)

And yeah, Laura is alive! she's been alive all of this time, but she's been under Consortium control, undergoing the experiments mentioned in part 1.

don't worry, how she survived will be also explained in this episode, and also all pieces finally fall into place about her.

This is "the laura episode" where everything just get into the light, I tried to make it as comprehensive as I could, and include it as integral part of the story... she's back in Derideal as I was imagining back in 2008 or something, but the themes changed dramatically, now there's Dr Orozco in the picture, her "original" mother, like, dna mother?  So, she's back, but also back in a very different way as I first dreamed about, all I can say is that this time, it might be a little darker.

Orozco wasn't included in Derideal and was a late add-on, as I thought it would make the psychological pain a little more complex.

phew, this has been such a long road, it took me forever to get to this mark of the story, which I honestly thought was going to happen sooner, but I've been creating Derideal with just my guts for too long, didn't outline the story, just been following my gut and developing the story over the years with just a general plot idea in my head... so, my advice for everyone who wants to make a story is to OUTLINE. always OUTLINE your entire story before starting.

but now it's the time to finish this thing.
