eyes yet to open - 22.7
Chapter swims the solar winds, kissing comets and grazing gas giants, singing to the dark planets that turn forever in the nameless void.
Chapter is here! Woo! And gosh, I do hope you, dear reader, are having a better time than our squid-girl; Heather is faced with the fact she may have been making many mistakes in many different spheres (assumptions! the Eye! Sevens!), but luckily Taika has yet more advice to offer. Hopefully Heather will listen closely. Meanwhile, next chapter is probably the end of arc 22, probably. I'm not 100% sure yet, it depends how Heather reacts to certain things. But we're close! Close to arc 23. Hope you enjoy the chapter! Here's that link, as always!

TYFTC! "Cremains" could be a suitable chapter pw, it strikes me https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGedfDqq8/
You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed the chapter! Yeah, "cremains" is a very interesting word, it's been stuck in my head for a while. I love stumbling across obscure and interesting-sounding words.
At first I was curious if that guy from 30 years was Yellow King, but that feels like too short of a time considering how many kids he has. Also, can't recall if it was confirmed that he even used to be human... I think he was? Might need to do a reread.
Actually, now that I think about it, one of his kids was dating the Sphinx, so he has to be ancient. Would be crazy if they met, though, lol.
TFTC! Also awesome with the last few chapters info dump but in a good way. Plus can't wait for giving Sevens the attention/care she deserves!
You're so very welcome! Very glad you enjoyed the chapter, and these last few chapters in general! I always try to work in exposition as part of natural conversations, so I'm very glad this all worked so well, thank you! And yes, Heather knows what she must do now, she's got some apologies to make, and some changes to work on.
