I appreciate that you cringed through it even when wanted to disengage. That's a hell of a thing to do as a reader, and I thank you for it. I'm glad the alternate lives thing worked as well.

And thank you! I had fun writing that action scene, pulling in a few details to recall something visual the readers can connect to. I always find it really rewarding when you say you can picture what I write, since I have a vision of it all in my head and hope to hell I get that across in the writing.

I did it, I did it! \o/ <333
