I'm faced with a bit of a conundrum. I got down to the very last part of the chapter and realized I could take the story two different ways. I was completely torn on which would be better for the story and couldn't make up my mind, so I wrote out both possibilities and decided I'd put it to you guys to get your opinion on the matter.

This moment in question is obviously a very pivotal moment, for all that the scene itself seems so small. It's going to change the direction of the story to some degree and affect Taylor's progression as a character.

I am leaning one way more than the other, and I have a feeling I already have a good idea how this is going to work out, but I still wanted to let you guys weigh in.

EDIT: Moving down all the way. 4/14/2024

Obviously, a decision has already been made, but for the sake of letting you guys see what could have been and getting a broader opinion on everyone's thoughts, I'll leave the poll up.

A was beautifully written, heartbreaking, and absolutely believable, but I gotta say B edged out on top for me. Chaldea's mission is fixing the past to save the future, and Taylor's own growth past who she used to be is a fundamental part of her journey here.

Given that canon Taylor was very protective of Children -the only one she hurt was Aster, and even that can be looked at as a Mercy Kill- B feels more in character for her. After all, she did run that orphanage after Leviathan. Not sure why she didn’t make a contract, though.

She did, Jack's agreement to "be a good girl" made the link.
