I don't know how long I can keep going like this. I think I'm going to have to tap out for a bit. My bad luck struck again on Wednesday in a pretty nasty double whammy and now I'm struggling to do anything over the unending anxiety.
I'm sorry. I may not even get over my chapter 3 curse at this rate like I wanted, and it feels like I'm failing people I actually like, again...
Uhm, related to the segment I've posted, I've opted for an unusual approach. I'm going to use 《》for internal thoughts and ≪≫ for monologuing that managed to escape, at least Valentine's perspective. It feels like it's subtle enough and doesn't run into the issue of Valentine being aware enough to put double quotes instead of single quotes.

Someone pointed out that in the anime Primarina's tongue never moves while it's using Sparkling Aria, which is why I went to the "dual syrinx" approach. Plus, it explains why it's such a priority to keep the throat in good condition as per the Pokedex, because that is an INCREDIBLY fragile system that could cause all sorts of problems if it receives even the slightest damage.
Evolutionary theory is for someone who hasn't met a Pokemon world builder, the Pokemon world is absolutely a world of intelligent design by tired programmers :P
I ended up deleting my post praising your one-shot, and I apologize because that was silly, but I felt that it wasn't up to snuff, especially after lamenting how I was barely able to respond to anyone else. Still, I'm glad you saw and know that I enjoyed your work.
