Chapter 304 is now available tonight! So yeah, still stuck in that flashback. I'm really starting to fail at judging things, which had been pretty good at lately. However, I am rather enjoying the story for Miyako. She's going to be an important player in the future as I said. So what I develop here for her is not wasted time, even if it might seem like it. It all leads into some very relevant things for her, though I won't be explaining how or why it is for a while. That part you'll have to wait for. The backstory is the hint to what her power is, since her power is actually a fairly subtle one in how it works. One that will make it difficult for me to explain without someone just expressly stating it. Later on, I'll explain some things about her power for now you just get to guess.

So yeah, this was supposed to the final chapter for her story. However, I ended up having the way she reacts take up the chapter. Though I'm going to have trouble seeing things continue on for much longer. Worst case I think it'll be two chapters, but I'm shooting for only one. The funny thing is that I planned to already be regrouping everyone at this point, which clearly did not happen. I'm still waiting on doing the fun part with Seiji too.

This chapter is more about her realizing how important they were all to her. They were just men she ordered around before and the ones that stuck by her side after her disbanded were like friends to her. However, as I brought up in another chapter before this, they're like family to her. This is where she makes that connection, though only subconsciously right now. She cared about them, but did not realize how much until now. She wanted out for different reasons. Things that will all get brought up in the closing chapter or chapters depending on how I write it out.

Enjoy!
