(CiP)[Hereafter] Chapter CCXVIII: Head of the Snake
🕑 Added 2025-10-30 06:42:56 +0000 UTCI'm going to get to the part that makes this chapter title appropriate, even if I have to push this chapter itself out to 8K, I swear it.

Hm. At the current 7838 words, I'm curious: are we ending here, having certain implications, or do we have to, say, find real Coil now? No matter how short or long that'll be. ... see, this is feeling a little odd, because - well - we were expecting the Grail to be here, and it seems we've very much so not found it. I'd guess that either Lisa has done something *really* foolish with the Grail, and is about to monologue about it, or is about to point folk there to where-ever the actual, singularity-causing Grail is. ... really, my bet is on the latter more so than the former; this setup just feels off for Lisa being our issue. Coil, I could maybe see, but that feels a little off; he'd probably rather try something like killing Lisa and folding Taylor into the Wards. Amy, on the other hand, I could see blaming all of her issues on Taylor, even without the sequel stuff, and as for why she would act like this, exactly... Maybe she picked something up from her dad that would actually make sense?
