current chapter word count: 8965
but this chapter word count it highly misleading, because the old version of the "Kokyo East Gardens" scene is still at the end of the file as reference for tag lines and content. Without it, the word count would be a mere 5524. That part of the chapter is sadly unfinished,
because what I believed to be minor revisions due to a nicely deWIMPed Subaru turned out to be a full revision, basically a "rewriting from scratch". The changed work situation asks for a completely different approach and use of the facilities of the park and the personnel, including guards, gardeners, a dojo, etc. pp. hence...
positive aspects of this: the new scene now has the same speed & overall feeling as the rest of the plot, flow is now smooth not only within the scene, but also from the rest of the story to the scene (and vice versa).
negative aspects of this: ETA for editing shifted from this weekend to the next (at least) and this is going to be "the chapter of eternal revisions", because it feels like I wrote all parts of it (minus the oldest one for some reason) at least three times.
character now part of the plot: chief superintendent Shiibatani
quote of the day: "Nice to see you using the gate for a change."
