You are a philosopher till the end:-P Sorry for taking a few off. But I do like the dark philosophy in this chapter though sometimes it does seem sadly true and yet another cliff. Bounced again.
I enjoy exploring the inner workings of a villain because it is never only black and white. Finding darker meanings behind actions and creating struggles for characters as yes these horrible things can happen in real life (But perhaps not as extreme) As for Cliff hangers, they only get worse, so i apologise in advance
