you may have noticed i took some hashtag artistic liberties in the latest chapter. the structure will make more sense when the next chapter is posted, since they were originally part of the same one, but just so there’s some clarity in the meantime:
it’s nonlinear, so some bits (the ones surrounded by the technical jargon) are memories. you may remember from earlier in the story, shadow mentioned the memory of when sonic built the house he lives in. sound familiar?
beyond those, the rest is chronological, picking up from the end of chapter 4. the present-tense represents… well, the present, and the past tense is from a long time ago.
again, all will be explained. in the meantime, i’ll probably be posting a lot more about this work, because i’ll explode if i don’t talk about it. see you soon!
