[Hereafter] Interlude MJB: Knife's Edge
Added 2022-07-09 16:46:33 +0000 UTCSurprise character! Two of them! Three or four, technically, even though most of them are just name-dropped!
I actually considered doing this chapter from a few different perspectives, but none of them let me play with prejudices and preconceptions as well as this one did, so these are the eyes you get to see these events from.
There was one character I wanted to fit into here so badly, but there was no room, so I just had to offscreen her suicide. Why did she commit suicide, especially considering who it was? That's the beauty of it. That question isn't answered.
EDIT: Down all the way.

Then, reading through it, I started laughing maniacally. Amazing chapter, amazing idea, and I loved how you solved problems here set up a few chapters ago. I love it!
