>>6114697Right. You suppose, from her viewpoint, she’s the one who must explain all sorts of things to you.
This is going to be one of those things that will give you a permanent headache… but Salicera — Willow — is worth it. You want to believe it is so.
“<span class="mu-i">I told you — you were fucking wrong,</span>” she whispers, so low you almost believe you imagined it.
“Hm?”
“Sorry. Just thinking out loud. A part of me still cannot believe this. I’m glad that part was wrong, that’s all.”
“Hmm.” You relax again in her embrace.
Trust… you have to give her complete trust ere you demand it.
Each house is built but one stone at a time.
“I’m getting a little worried the others will wake up,” you say, pulling away. “I’d rather wrap this up, at least the confusing parts. Speaking of which, what was that thing you mentioned form your world? That <span class="mu-i">intern-nest…?</span>”
Willow winces. An uneasy smile appears on her beautiful face.
“Oh God. This isn’t gonna be an easy one. Especially the part about that Taiwanese basket-weaving forum I used to post on…”
You blink.
Not an easy one indeed, you guess…

thanks for playing. I'll split this update between now and tomorrow morning - sadly still need my beauty sleep. I did not mean to make Willow an explicit 'channer at the beginning, but then I remembered this update comes out on October 1st... so happy birthday anon. (Willow was still most likely just a tourist). we'll see the rest of this update in a few hours. As always thanks for being here. I'm enjoying this more than I thought.
