A few things: First, the fondness and bonding growing btw Bessie and Josie is awesome!!đ€© This journey together as a group Iâm sure will strengthen all of them into a âfamilyâ. Secondly, Poor Avery nearly is in critical shape and so is Sabrina but we know she will never die. Thirdly, the âfamilyâ of souls in the plant monster were scared. Scared of what, actually taking damage!? It was their idea to test the group if they had a chance to enter the âheartâ. All in all, great chapter. Canât wait for more
Yes! In the end, everyone really is just a big happy found family. With regards to Avery's condition... yeah, they're really not meant to be a fighter. My initial concept of this fight had a greater emphasis on Avery, but by the time I got to actually writing it, I really just wanted to use it as an opportunity to focus on Dahlia and Val's bond. I've considered doing some side chapters in the future which would show the other fights' perspectives though... And finally, when talking about Euryale's soul collection, you have to remember that they all basically are now in their effective afterlife and the outside world has hardly ever threatened them. They might be able to experience things through Euryale's senses, but they never actually experience danger themselves. In this battle though, Dahlia's magic threatened their existence, something that hadn't happened in ages. It's like if you were watching TV and suddenly one of the characters on the screen stabbed you with a knife. I'd be pretty freaked out too.
