WHAT I DID.

so, progress was made. do i have much to show for it? absolutely not. but i wrote more than i thought i would—that's an accomplishment in itself. to go off what i described last week, i'm basically still making my way through the initial scene of recovery. the many variables make it a lot slower, but i would rather have this than have a non-personalized version of the story. i enjoy the little easter egg comments you get when you've chosen something in the past and it's brought up again / when the ros remember something you'd said. besides, i kind of need to differentiate between the different types of injuries the hunter can get / if the ro got injured. wouldn't make much sense otherwise.

not exactly sure what i'm working on next since things are moving so slowly, but i hope to get to some of the more exciting stuff soon. aka the hurt/comfort scenes. gosh. such an underrated trope in my opinion. i know most people probably had their hunter stabbed, but i might argue that the option where they're choked/have a knife held to their throat is more angsty. we'll see what happens when i end up writing it.

either way, what i like about this healing scene coming up is that it shows the ros have developed a connection with the hunter. even K, who's known the hunter for the least amount of time, will show that they care in some capacity (at the very least because it was a tense situation and they don't like seeing people hurt). even more so, i hope that it'll bring the chosen ro and the hunter closer, platonically or romantically. i'm not going to lie, having someone faint in front of you after being wounded is a pretty drastic situation, so whoever was involved is going to feel stronger towards each other than before. so the tougher ros to get to know like Blane and K... yeah. crack in their walls right there.
