and here we are... maple's lowest point. I'm happy we got here, it was damned hard to write -I'll be honest. Rereading it just now... damn that's sad. I remember starting out this sidequest knowing it would be going in darker places, and up to this point I was content with writing Maple as just having the worst night... but I wasn't sure how much of it was going to be carried over back to the main game. Then we got to this part, and this conversation started... this changed me for the rest of the time writing this character, both here and back in the main game.
Thank you Shadewing.
