Ah, as a kid I remember all too well, “come on, mom, just one more level (video game)” or “one more cartoon” etc. I love that as an adult I can say, “just hold your horses, I’m gonna read one more chapter” (even if I don’t, because it is more-after-than-not rude to do so).
I don’t know, Pilot. How long are the chapters?
Just keep reading, they’ll never know
Just call her Doctor Dubna.
Heh, my entire life has been “Just one more chapter” video games not so much, except for ones that have at list a supposed story line…that has become better with each release. 😉 Diablo.
More often than not, I at least try to finish the chapter I’m on.
Hokay…Devyat is getting…more than a bit scary.
It’s a good thing she’s so unwaveringly, unshakably good.
For now.
Hey, some of us remember when the fully-telekinetic Eebs were busy destroying the galaxy.
I too fear the damaged or shocked or shaken Devyat, and her comprehension of the galaxy’s evil. She might try to repair it, which is going to make her powerful enemies and drive them to find ways to keep her power from working on them. She may have no choice but to go into hiding, a place even Dmitri can’t find. A tragedy for all ages and sizes.
