Today's reordering of scenes and events finally brought the conclusion of Family Matters into shape. If nothing unforeseen happens (:::cough-36°9-cough:::), the second story of the Decagram will have 20 chapters (including introduction and epilogue, excluding interregnums 1-6).
Word counts after reordering are:
chapter 17: 3777 - announcing the unimaginable
interregnum 6: 612 - behind the scenes
chapter 18: 703 - providing evidence (special guest stars: the Emperor & two very dead onmyoji)
chapter 19: 454 - picking up the pieces, making a collage
chapter 20 (Epilogue): 239 (if the scene I wrote 2 years ago stays)
