[Hereafter] Chapter CLXVII: Roman Holiday (Patreon)

This one...meanders a little. Partly? Because I didn't have a clear plan for the later, like, two-thirds of the chapter when I started it, but I really wanted to have that moment at the top and wanted it to happen before we got to the next chapter.

So...Yeah. In a normal book, this is a chapter that probably would have gotten a lot of revision and excised (or at least moved to another chapter) the bottom half, but the realities of a serial like Hereafter make that untenable.

Next chapter is another interlude. And after that, we start moving towards America. There's still several things that need to happen before we get there, so this is going to be one of, if not the longest, intermissions in the story so far, but the next Singularity looms.
