Sophia's no closer to answers and her sister's been kidnapped right under her nose. The situation is, in a word, not good. Is she bleeding out, or just unconscious? How's she going to get to the Tojin citadel to get answers…or, is she just going to rush to the Bamboo forest to rescue her sister? In her injured state, I'd question her abilities in combat….

I played with several ways to end this page (which would be your "end of episode to be continued" if this were a TV show. One was to have her curl up into a ball and hold herself. Another way was to have Sophia crawling towards the Icarus Wing. I finally settled on the fade to black, since this is the middle point of our story.

That's right, gang: this prequel story is half over!

Remember all those months ago when I said that this was going to be a faster, harder, more brutal story? Well, you let me know when (or if) I've delivered.

Next week…well, you'll just have to tune in to find out what happens. ;)
