Chapter 364 is now available for reading! First chapter written on my new laptop. Finally made the full switch over for writing needs to the new laptop. Still getting used to things on it, but I think it is going to work out. Anyway, the epilogue continues and as made pretty clear by the turn of events things are not so happy or rosy. Things like this were already hinted at by Yori and implied by me. So this is just finally making it clear what is happening. Terrible things happened and people can't handle the situation.
This chapter serves a couple of important uses. Focusing a little more on the showing than telling, which I try to do as much as I can, though I tend to get a little tell-y when going into people's minds and emotions. But for the actions in the world I tend to be more showing than telling. And showing people killing themselves rather thing just saying it is happening is more important, especially when I start giving the numbers. After everything that happened to people it only made sense that there was going to be people that couldn't handle it. Very awful things happened and none of it was when they were in control of themselves, though those in the school that weren't part of the army are the ones killing themselves right now because they were living off base emotions. It was just pure corrupted emotions and instinct the worst possible things to be doing and they saw it and participated in it and remember doing it. Those that remember it vividly are the ones killing themselves right now. But the numbers will only increase as time goes on like Hiroshi said.
The other part of the chapter is me wanting to show off Hiroshi's leadership abilities. He takes charge of the situation and is working together with Masayuki in trying to resolve the situation. There's more going on in the situation than I have explicitly stated right now, but I'll be getting to that later after things are calming down and Hiroshi realizes what is happening. For now things seem going in a positive direction and I'm cleaning up the mess now. Though there is going to be more things left that I still have to do before the arc is completely finished. But with the progress I'm making it doesn't seem that it is going to take much longer.
Enjoy!
