hi hi hi. i've been extremely tired lately (still struggling with jetlag, maybe?) but i'll skip the chase and tell you what you came for: Blane's route is going really well. i'm so so happy with it right now. i had one of those moments when writing where i was in the zone, busting out a thousand words all in one go. so far, this scene has some of my favourite lines of the chapter, and seeing as it's only the first of the five variations, i'm very excited to see where the rest go.
i won't lie, it's a lot of work. i've definitely mentioned this before, but i have a separate scene for the hunter sacrificing themself and another where they're injured. multiply that by the five ros and, well, i think you get the point. i'm trying to make things easier on myself by having shared common texts. the variation where the ro is injured, for example, will likely be the same scene for every ro with applicable flavour text. i'd love to personalize it more, but i know if i keep going, i'll burn myself out and the chapter won't be out until december or something ridiculous.
i'm not sure who's next. i tend to write whatever scene i'm in the mood for, so after Blane i might jump to K. i've been thinking about their scene lately, especially how much they'll scold the hunter for taking the knife for them or how much they'll try to act angry at the hunter being injured. if K isn't next, then i'm thinking of A.
for those who rejected A's plan at first and did not choose them to enter the club, i'll have to squeeze in a scene where they explain themself. again, for convenience, i'm likely just taking the scene i wrote for this scenario outside of the club and changing a few things. if you reject them a second time in this scene, i'll eventually have to add a scene where the two of you address the awkwardness. maybe chapter ten or eleven, we'll see. i doubt many of you went on this route, but i like having the option there in case anyone wants to.

SNEAK PEEK.
Their voice is light. Delicate, like it could be ripped apart by the merest of touches.
