As someone else pointed out WAAAY back when you first posted the chapter, the soulfire thing is definitely an interesting way to think about Pokemon moves and typing. Between Simon yelling at his Snivy instincts and then literally using them as a punching bag, you get the sense that he's staying sane out of pure spite for the serpent... which granted isn't the healthiest way to do it, but it is A way... You'll be far more powerful if you can learn to work together with the serpent, Simon, but this is a start.
Aaah, yes, I recall you wanting to do something with other humans without it providing an easy way for Simon to escape back to civilization. It'll be very interesting to see what you've cooked up... y'know, whenever I actually get around to reading chapter 5... Good grief, I apologize in advance...
Great chapter once again, Snivy. Getting Miirym's perspective is an interesting change of pace, and Simon's first reluctant steps into properly adapting to his new environment and self are as fun as his character always is, especially as the looming threat of insanity seems to have abated some, giving us more space to enjoy the comedic side of his suffering.
