Tense tense chapter! I think I see the intermission section you were talking about, the part where MC question's possum girl's motives? I thought that was well done, nice use of the "left aligned, right aligned, center aligned voices in my head" thing. Establishing MC as terminally online is ideal for a self-insert on here I think...
Speaking of MC, I feel like he's increasingly losing it and becoming more dependent on his captor. Stockholm syndrome is great! At least he's learned how to deal with reflections, nice bit of development.
So the "thing"... My interpretation is that is was some kind of biological being which lived thanks to the life support integrated in its suit. Looks like it lived in a low-oxygen atmosphere? Some kind of bioengineered soldier? Or one who got crippled such that he can only survive in this state? Or maybe some non-human life form. Interesting!
I really enjoyed this one!
