...I guess that’s the thing as well, that you’re led by the characters and the story they have to tell you...and it obviously wouldn’t come together so well if you didn’t allow them that and allow them their stories and their words etc...Lotte and Atlas are such likeable and interesting characters anyway...there are so many layers to them to explore, you know...

...oh I love how you’ve joined these two chapters, Scarlett...this is going to get so confusing as well if Rychard succeeds in a brain/memory transplant so that no one will be able to tell the clone from Roisin...and who else would he clone...

...okay, so I know this is all a pretty horrendous situation with the clones etc...and how are they ever going to defeat evil when it’s not clear which ones are the evil and which are the originals etc...beyond awful and terrifying....but let’s take a moment, though...Atlas and Lotte..:lovedup:...

...oh so as with Elyss, those that were taken to clone/the originals, are not dead, then...they could be brought to life to defeat their clones...?...

...I love the chapters when you go back to the foundations of bonds and friendships, Scarlett...:love:...and also go back to establish the roots of the big ass trees...:laugh:...

They're honestly my favourite chapters to write, its nice establishing the bonds and showing more about the characters. It's fun to see who they were :D

...yeah, when the threats and dangers weren’t there and they could just freely be themselves...it’s very much a reflection of COVID, I feel...which is what makes it so relatable as well and what fills those chapters so much in nostalgia, you know...it’s all so mirror like, which really does give so much thought and depth...:love:...

Indeed, they've been fighting for so long, coping for so long, they've forgotten what it was like to rest >.<

...and it’s so important that we see those ‘non fighting/non just coping people etc as well..that we see those halcyon days that build up and make whole people with other aspects of their characters.... and show the beginning of friendships also, to understand the strength of them....and also the commitments felt to protect, you know...
