Thank you to everyone still reading. I know it's been a slow-building plot. That's the trouble with 100-word chapters and a complicated storyline.
A special shoutout to jacpin2002, Forbidden-Hanyou and The Boundless Architect for all your amazing reviews, helpful critiques, scientific reasoning (thank you The Boundless Architect!) and encouragement. You're the best! :)
