most exciting news of the week? i added a new interlude. even better? i've included a sneak peek of it below. it's a scene that focuses on Sebastian and what's going through his head—something i wrote in one sitting but am extremely happy with. it was never something i initially planned on, but i recently got a comment asking why Sebastian is still friends with Caine despite all his... uh, bad habits. and i kinda went, huh. that's a fair point. and so, this interlude is supposed to answer some of these questions, as well as give a better understanding of Sebastian as a person.
aside from Caine and the ros, i'd argue that he's actually one of the most important characters of the story. up to chapter nine, Sebastian has been extremely distanced. i made him the opposite of Caine mostly because i thought the dynamic would be fun to play with, but also because i wanted to visually demonstrate the shift in the department after Caine's disappearance. i guess i have a thing for characters putting up a facade (Blane, K, Rylan) because Sebastian has more to him than the impersonal persona he puts on. i had hoped to show this through various breakages during conversations with the hunter (chapter eight), but i think the interlude will help confirm what i'm trying to tell. it's vague enough that you might still be left with some questions, but specific enough that it should tide you over. for now.
in other news, i'm still writing (you guessed it) A's and N's scene. i say it's a joint scene, but i'm actually hoping to focus on N's character for this scene. though i adore A, they've had (and will have) more than enough opportunities to showcase their arc, simply due to them being the hunter's partner. of course, this development for N only happens if you decided on this branch as opposed to Blane's or K's and Rylan's, but still. the chance is there. i admit that a lot of development happens depending on the branches you choose, but the goal at the end of the story is to have all the characters have an arc (whether it be detailed in your playthrough or not).
exams are still in progress. essays are still a thing. i am still drowning in homework—but i hope you all are well lol. <3

SNEAK PEEK.
Except, when Caine had been told the news, he merely smiled and shook hands of congratulations. One of those was Sebastian's, but he never received the words in return.
