I edited a paragraph in chapter 58:
"If it were that easy anyone could do it. I only expose myself to those who have shown no stab will follow." I turned Rin down. In truth there was nothing to say about my past life. Having no power, unable to influence anyone, none of my decisions ever mattered, so essentially I never truly lived. None would profit from my regaling tales of old Earth. My true self was nothing but my values, only by seeing the beauty in what I valued could anyone approach that inner core I thought of as 'me.' And I'd already broadcasted those values to everyone on the planet freely and incessantly, they were carried by the very names of all my children and taught in class every day. The next step wasn't for me to make.
This was in order to clarify a potential plot hole. Christopher told Kokona that he'd always answer any question she asked him, as was her due as his wife. So why doesn't he answer Rin's question? The answer is that he already has answered her question, but she's barking up the wrong tree. In fact, answering her question will only lead her further from the truth.
I also corrected 'magus sisters', a famous trio boss in Final Fantasy, for the more commonly understood 'triumvirate,' so that people who haven't played Final Fantasy can still know what I'm talking about.
While I'm at it, I'll correct the record on two previous posts as well. It turns out Hamlin will probably recover from his cardiac arrest, so using him as the first example of a post-vax dead NFL player is no longer valid. The fact that a 24 year old fit NFL player with no prior history of heart problems (NFL players are screened for heart problems so when he was drafted he had none) had a nearly fatal heart attack remains the same though. There is still only one possible explanation for this.
Likewise, it turns out Russia hasn't actually taken Krasna Hora or Klyshievka yet, though those villages will fall soon enough, and the larger point that Ukraine is in deep trouble remains the same. But it's always best to be accurate whenever possible.
I have a mountain of video games to play, but the project I'm focused on right now is rereading the Xanth series, which allows me to listen to my 5-star music tier which I've been away from for so long. Currently I'm on book 7, 'Dragon on a Pedestal,' which seems to be the first lower quality book in the series. It had been a nearly perfect experience until now. I really liked how all the characters from the previous books worked together to win the war in 'Night Mare,' book 6, it felt like everything had been written for that moment. In contrast 'Dragon' doesn't seem to be connected to anyone or anything, just floundering around on its own separate axis.
I'm afraid it will take all year to beat all these games I've bought, none of them will be finished anytime soon. There's still one anime that hasn't premiered yet, but after that I can at least finish my winter first impressions. There's also a chance I can finish Yume's route and thus all of Hoshizora no Memoria ~ Eternal Heart ~ soon, but that depends on how long this route actually is. Regardless, the NFL Playoffs start tomorrow so everything takes a back seat to them.
