Promise 7.1 (Patreon)

So, I sat down to get to finishing ITQM I, and instead, I wound up writing about 2300 words (and finishing) Promise 7.1. 

I have no idea how that happened.

Anyway. Since it's done, I saw no reason not to give it to you. ITQM is more of a sidestory than a proper chapter, to begin with. I'll finish it over the next couple of days and give it to you then.

On the chapter itself, I confess, I was actually a bit iffy about the ending, here. It felt a little too neat, but that conflict had no legitimate reason to continue and the direction of the conversation went there anyway, so...

In any case, here's a bit of a breather chapter. Things aren't exactly easy slice of life, but they're less tense than last chapter and Pendulum 0.0 and...arc 6 in general, really.
