Eeyup! I'm XJ-9 of eight!

-Byleth does, at least?-
___
Specter: "You'll never know unless you try."
___
-That last comment from Palutena actually angered him enough to make him swing his scythe into a nearby well, with enough strength to even partially embed the scythe into said wall, leaving it with several cracks-
Specter: "That does
NOT compare to this, and you're damn well aware of it! Your world"s Medusa is a pathetic has-been of a conqueror who has only consistently failed to harm anyone ever since falling under Chaldea's watch. Abigail was nearly killed by Kama, and is
BLIND because of her! She's lost her sight, quite possibly
permanently, and you're letting the person responsible for all of it live under the same roof as her... without so much as even
telling her...
...Tell me, how is
that justified? That Kama simply gets to walk free here, despite her actions, with almost all of Chaldea none the wiser, and Abigail still blinded?"
___
-Winter facrplamed at that-
-The Snatcher remains frozen!-
-Due to still recovering from all the damage her took while being possessed by Toffee's spirit, Gaster actually wasn't able to avoid this and was blasted away, his cane falling across the ground-
G-GASTER!
...no... -Glared at Menasor-
___
Peridot: "At least this is a positive chapter so far..."
Shez: "Sounds like you had a big family."
---
Byleth: "I have been in one myself."
---
Kanna: "We could find out one day."
---
Palu: "Given Abigail's powers, she could be more than capable of healing her own wounds with ease. She's... simply not confident in being able to do so yet. Her Foreigner family can hopefully fix that. Not sure how long this will take myself, but the restoration of her sight is a matter of when, not if.
As for fooling all of Chaldea, this was an intentional choice. Given the atrocities she had done under Toffee's orders, few would have agreed to letting her live had I not done this elaborate fake death when all she really needed was for someone to actually care about her. This was her one way towards redemption and, using the Servant system as an excuse, I gave her the second chance she needs.
Besides, I have never been the biggest fan of the death penalty unless I know that someone cannot possibly be redeemed. In my eyes, killing someone for their crimes is no better than letting them off scot-free, as they do not get the chance to feel the weight of their actions. This is why I opted to cursed my world's Medusa even though she was clearly a genocidal psychopath. Besides, you of all people can agree that there are indeed fates worse than death...
Not telling Abigail is also an intentional choice; I want Kama to approach her on her own and prove with her own actions that she has changed."

Mean marshmallow...
Bumblebee: "Oh, so it's a serial number and... They're still online?"
---
Sitonai: "Okay, so you can explain that to her! Good"
---
Fate: "We would be there to support you"
Alice: "Maybe you can learn things from us!"
Suzuka: "That would be wonderful"

Kama:
Wait, I must confront that kid?!

-Screen turns black as narration takes over-
-The two girls continue their conversation through the remainder of lunch. But a new feeling hangs in the air, a feeling of greater certainty in the path forward. In just a few hours, there will be another Literature Club meeting, where the four club members will happily spend time together. Each of them, with their own special qualities, have something unique that they can deliver to one another. Through friendship and literature, the club members will continue to grow and find new happiness together-
-The end of each chapter is the start of the next. Yuri thinks to herself. Since she's about to finish her long-running series, it would be best to have a new book lined up. Perhaps this weekend would be a good time to visit the bookstore... Together-
-Finally, the side-story ends-
-Is he able to dodge or counter them all?-
___

Breakdown: "That's dirt" -points at some on the ground-

Aya: -Sigh- "I've been trying to be there for her, but pyschological scars take much longer than physical ones..."
Camilla: "Awww~"
---
Shez: "Sounds pretty fancy."
Byleth: "She will make time for this, I'm sure of it."
---
Palu: "I love you too."
---
-YEEE-
Ana: "Hm? What was that?"
---
Rin: "I don't like to showoff, but I may be a bit of a prodigy"
Sakura: "She likes to showoff"
Tiki: "I know, she never wastes time to spend with friends"
---
Mary: -Giggle- "I'll be waiting... But now I want to watch TV!"
---
Stheno: "What motivated you to do this, by the way?"
