Thanks Kim—like everyone here, I love a thumbs up or a “good one”, but it’s really special to receive a thoughtful comment like yours which explains what worked—I’m deeply grateful you took the time.

As for the three scenes in the Prelude, they’ll pay off each in different (mirroring) chapters to follow, so i genuinely hope you’ll stick around… and let me know if i flubbed any of their landings!
