New chapter is
Here!
FDK goes here!
Sorry this took so long. I've been tying myself in knots over which direction to take this section since it's an episode I'd been looking forward to reaching, for reasons that have continuously changed along with the rest of the plot. So many contradictory plans, so much rethinking of where the story is and should be going, so much worrying about pacing and purpose and whether it's more important to keep the story focused or let it wander...
Anyway, I finally found my footing again, so I hope y'all enjoy this bit.
