Three endings, three feelings

No new chapters this time, sorry! I spent the week back in Hyunjae's ending, finally fixing something that had been bugging me for ages.

The three paths were all wrapping up more or less the same way. Same mood, same note. Which never sat right, because they are not the same story and they should not land the same. So I pulled them apart and let each one do its own thing. One is quieter and softer now. One leans right into who she is instead of asking her to shrink. And the path she walks alone keeps its question open, which is how it was always meant to feel.

I also tidied up the writing in the big moments and cut a pile of phrases I had used way too often. Then I played through every route to make sure I had not knocked anything loose.

You might not even clock it on a fresh run. But if you have already reached all three endings, I think they finally feel like three different ones.

Reine's still on her way, I promise. Thanks for being here this early.
