WHAT I DID.

another week, another route down. i think i deserve a bit of a pat on the back for that one—i feel like i'm flying through these. granted, i might only feel like i took forever with Blane's route because i went on vacation in between and wrote most of it at the airport/on the plane, but still. i'm getting there.

this week, i finished K's route and officially moved onto A's. to talk about K's for a second... gah. the sacrifice scene was a lot more emotional than i thought it'd be. i mentioned on tumblr that the scene would involve K scolding the hunter for their actions, and while that did happen, it goes deeper than that. K isn't mad that the hunter took the knife for them, they're just... confused. and i think the scene portrays it perfectly. at this point, the hunter has only known K for two-three days (crazy, i know) so i can't really deliver a whole angsty scene like i could for Blane, but i like the variety. despite them both being my stoic and colder ros, their reactions are still very different.

moving onto A... gosh. at first, i was a little lost. i think writing Blane and K beforehand messed me up because all of a sudden, i forgot how A speaks. it took me a good half an hour or so but rest assured that i eventually got there. this side of A isn't something you're accustomed to, however. yes, there's still the banter and the grins and dimples, but seeing the hunter hurt and having them faint in their arms... not exactly a reassuring sight. they're worried, to say the least. i'm really excited to dive into this side of them.

in addition to the two branches (the sacrifice scene and the stab/vampire fight wounds) i'll also be incorporating a scene for A and the hunter to talk things out if the latter initially refused to find Caine. it'll be slightly different from the one that you can find in chapter six, but for the most part, i do plan to copy-paste it. just for my sake.

STATS.
