Actually, no. It just felt like this chapter kind of fell flat on the road 
and kept waiting for the Plot Bus to run it over. It just...took a really, 
really long time for the bus to come. :P

Rei's like Kikyo without the obsessive streak, more or less. Well, maybe a 
little more like Sakaki...

>> She was right. As usual.

>> This was really far too easy.

Building a character quirk. Points to anyone who calls it before I out it. 
:)

Actually, this isn't a typo. This is deliberate. There was this huge 
argument/debate, back in November, about which form was used for which 
gender. Nobody could ever agree (in fact, you're actually *WRONG*), so 
ultimately I decided "fuck this" and just made EVERY instance of the word 
'blond' instead of 'blonde'.

Also, I don't use spellcheck software. I actually PROOFREAD MY STUFF. :P 
Yes, I know, that went out of style in the 90s, but I'm old-fashioned.

Unfortunately, they've got her a bit too drugged to even remember to

And where, precisely, is it ever hinted that she has any such goal? :P

You have NO idea.

>> Beryl screamed.

> Perhaps she has a few problems of her own then?

Again, you have NO idea...

> Nice to see this continue.

Thanks for reading!
