Sorry for the delay, I really thought I had less work to do on this chapter than I did. I also am not that satisfied with where the chapter ends and it might be rearranged in a very final edit, but it was going to be TOO LONG, YET AGAIN. Remember when the first draft of this entire book was 75k? Me neither! So, sorry for kind of a weird cut off point.
But honestly there might not even be chapters in a final version--it makes sense as a structure for serialized posting, but Alan's not thinking of his own story in chapters (especially if I commit to the idea that this is him actually telling it to someone). I've always used the Roman numerals as more of a metatextual way to organize the story, because would Alan use those? basically never.
But 'no chapters' only works if this gets slightly more published in some form, even as just like an ebook I make myself. Until then, gotta have them.
Also forgot to mention that the Translations document is updated with some minor notes.
