[Hereafter] Interlude MK I: From the Heart (Patreon)

She's kinda been long overdue, hasn't she? Ritsuka and Rika have both gotten at least one interlude (depending on how you count the Prison Tower sidestories) and even Jackie has had one of her own, but poor Mash out here finally getting hers after more than 200 chapters. Girl's been waiting long enough, don't you think?

This one is a long one, and I really like how it turned out. Fun fact, a certain red-haired revolutionary was actually a fairly late addition, in that I didn't decide to add him until the scene he appeared in. But I checked the timelines and they lined up neatly enough, so I figured, hey, we have enough figures from the 2011 era, let's bring in at least one from 1783.

You can tell because he talks like he just penned the Declaration of Independence.
