Chapter 6
Chapter 8

This one was another bit of a slog to get through, but also more important things here. This is a Lukas Kawika story, so of course Markus likes it fuckin’ sloppy. Also, are y’all picking up some of the subtext that I’m putting down here? :^) A big part of the story is Markus figuring out how to accept that he’s immature & wrong on a lot of subjects (both of which I think his mother has already accused him of, with him naturally ignoring her) since he -desperately- lacks world experience & self-awareness, and he’s gonna need the help of his loved ones to guide him through that perspective & realization.

As well as to learn that it’s far closer to him than he’s capable of seeing at this point in time. Which I’m hoping is obvious.

(Also in case it’s not clear, since it’s never really been important: this world has two moons of different sizes which keep each other in an uneven orbit, and they’re called Big Sister and Little Brother)

My lovely lovey supporters fund this story, and $5+ supporters actually get to read my full 5-chapter reserve in advance. As of uploading this part, the story's available all the way through chapter 11 to those supporters right now, and I'm actually working on 12 today & tomorrow.
