update 26. (Patreon)

WHAT I DID. 

apologies for the short update once again. one week i get rid of my writer's block and the next, it's back in full force. really not the most convenient, is it?

in terms of what i've been up to, i decided to change the sequencing for some of the chapter. i spoke last week about writing the hurt/comfort scenes soon but i quickly realized how oddly placed it was. previously, it was sandwiched between the healing scene and the aftermath discussion, which, while not wrong, just disrupted the natural flow of how the conversation may go in real life. as such, i'm now going to have it fall after the conversation of Mirai and Crimson Rouge. it doesn't affect much on your end, but for me, it helps my flow (and hopefully, gives me more motivation to write). unfortunately, it delays me from giving you sneak peeks of the scenes, but when they come, i promise they'll be worth it. all you gremlins that enjoy angst will really like this chapter.

aside from that, i've been chipping away at the several variations you can get in this chapter. i spent my time completing the healing scenes for all three of the hunter's possible injuries and potential ro reactions to them, which, i have to say, are very very interesting. this initial reaction is supposed to be a mere glimpse of the conversation to come later, but i already love how it's turning out.

next up is the healing process for the ro (if they were injured) and the hunter reactions to them. i might regret saying this, but i think it'll be fun to code. whether if your hunter feels guilty for not stepping in or is in agony over the ro collapsing on them at the end of chapter seven changes a lot—depending on how the hunter responds, the ros will all act differently. K might be frustrated with the hunter taking the blame, for example, while A might feel tortured over it. i'll be saying this a lot when it comes to promoting chapter eight but it will be highly recommended to try as many variations as you can. i'll make them worth your while.

SNEAK PEEK.

"Which part?" A asks. "The disaster entrance or the disaster escape? We have options here, Villanueva."

"The 'we were looking for your boss and were only there at the club to find information on him, therefore we need to discuss that' part." Rylan batts their eyelashes. "What, is the the night getting to you, Blondie?"
