Fun fact: Chapters 1 and 2 consist of a combined 82,000 words, which is around a sixth of Mind Blind's total content! (This is mostly the fault of Chapter 2, which clocks in at 50,000 words. Hopefully, future chapters will be quicker to edit and rewrite.)

What's New:

-Minor edits and polishing.

-Ace romance options for Kenzie and Glitch. (Rosy's romance for ace Buttons doesn't initiate until later).

-Reworked stats (it's now easier to lose affection).

-Reworked coding for all of Rosy's gender variables, as they use the same as Kenzie and thus consolidating their pronouns made more sense.

-New dialogue options (ex: ability to politely tell Glitch to slow their roll.).

-Behind-the-scenes tracking of Button's sympathies (Unity vs Vengeance), as well as how content they are with Unity's current status quo.

-You can now literally be afraid of pencils.

-How you passed the ASE is now remembered for future dialogues (although only the beard option changes anything in Chapter 2).

-The Aeon Student Guide can now be found in the Stat Screen. (The sections "Unity's Founding," "UCRT and Aeon Tower," and "MIVs and AMOs" are still missing, as I'm trying to figure out how I want to organize and combine these particular segments.)

-The game will also now remember if you tell Glitch that you're vegan.

-A new scene featuring Rosy actually acting like a teacherI I ended up moving half of this scene (the part with more personal info) to their office in Chapter 3. Two reasons: Firstly, because Rosy will be more forthcoming if it's just them and Button. Secondly, Chapter 2 was already too long.

-A bunch of other stuff that I can't remember off the top of my head.
