ah yes, the most recent deleted scene in my 'scraps' document. it hurt to discard this one too, especially since the choice set was over 2000 words long. but as i've learned, numbers aren't everything.
i scrapped the scene for three reasons. one, because it made the pre-stakeout feel super long and took away from the anticipation a little. two, because it felt a little bit like [A]'s random question in the car in chapter one. and most importantly, three, because i felt like the purpose the choice served wasn't actually necessary. this late in the game, i feel like your actions towards supernaturals is more telling than being asked questions about them and answering how you feel.
i actually put up a sneak peek for this choice set (though the antagonistic answer) a couple of days before i deleted it. funny how things work.
