Again, I have to thank you all for sticking with me. Progress has been far slower than I'd like on the back half of this issue, so I appreciate you all still being here.
I've added a bit of Sam's off-screen mind map as a bonus. This exposition dump was going to be a powerpoint presentation style affair for a while, before I settled on the idea of her climbing onto Hugo's lap.
Hope you've all had a good New Years!
