Yes, I love the personal graphic! The whole piece seems more personal in tone...Ok, moving right along... Seems Luke and Logan have created a curriculum designed to transform Misty into a 'normal' functioning member of their society by emersion. But seems like they are not far from doing the same thing that Teag and James did with performance and reward, but without the physical pain... They are, at least Luke is, trying to create an image that he visualizes as normal. Clearly you emphasized that with the prep for the party which I think is just likely to create more friction and jealousy when she walks in all styled to perfection. Are Misty and Logan no longer sharing feelings, has that shutdown persisted since after Misty finished showing them her trauma? Otherwise he should understand how emotionally dangerous this territory really is! This whole vibe makes me very trepidatious about where this could go. Which I suspect is exactly what you intended!
Careful dear Frank. You're on a thin limb there. I won't say the wrong one but it's rickety. As for shutting down the emotional bridge... I'm glad you picked up on that, but I'll let Logan explain it in next episode, he'll do a better job than I can here. I'm glad you like the self made graphics. I actually forgot I had them for most of this exercise. But I was quite proud of how they turned out. I'm thinking of redesigning the graphics for the entire series when I'm done. Get my hands dirty with graphite again, maybe share a few experiments along the way, but those are next years' worries. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with myself after this.
You know, Jenny, the two-year jump was a slap of cold water in my face but the story after somehow snapped me back into attention because I immediately understood where you were going. I'm honestly going to miss all the ways you have been able to toy with my emotions since you started this journey lol
Oh Dave! I'm sorry, but I had to do it. Things have been on the razor's edge for so long now it's past time they started to settle down. Besides I think you'll like what happens next too.
Of course I will! Sincerely... I consider myself fortunate to have crossed paths with you here and watched you evolve as a writer, build an audience, and tell a great story. We may not have ever met in person, but I'm still very proud of you and what you have accomplished here :)

Lol, you make me chuckle! I've no excuses, couldn't resist giving it a shot. At least the limb didn't snap right off, yet.
And I'm truly hopeful that we will see more of your own graphics as you start editing this draft or experiment with other story ideas.

Thanks Dave, that means a lot.😎
