BAUplan - nearing the end

current chapter word count: 20344
pages deemed ready for edit: 38/39
scenes (re)written today: emergency coveralls, naming a COO, beach recommendation
remaining issues: the chapter finish / transition to the next part lacks oomph and reads bland - basically, the final 20-something lines still need some inspiration.

quote of the day:
"With spells like these?" she asked doubtfully, vaguely indicating Subaru.
"Let's say book thieves were never a problem of mine." Ameru put the folded jacket on top of his worn briefcase and turned for Subaru. "Ready to face that dreadful office again?" he asked.
Seishiro sighed. "The only thing dreadful remaining there is that desk, but feel free to check for spiritual stains I may have missed." He indicated the door.
"What's with the desk?" Subaru asked as they headed over to the office.
"I think I tore me a splinter sitting on it."
