As with so many other Mecchen chapters recently, I think this one is a complete plop. But as I read back a bit, that opinion should improve and I'll whip the narrative into shape so that the climax will flow more naturally. Mostly I feel like I left out environmental details a lot to deal with character stuff...but then that was my intended focus. Maybe it's just a symptom of how unnerved the unraveling of Mecchen and Ogawa makes me feel. Things will never be the same but this uncertain, worrisome time will pass. Thank you for reading. I'll have the chapter out for everyone to read soon ^_^
