into the plot yet regarding who they're going to meet/what rowan really wants from her. i am interested in those answers. (and we would get there faster if we got rid of these tedious diversions to childhood).

'let me think for myself' moment, and that it's a transitionary period to relying on ai stories to one she created herself in childhood to eventually gaining the courage to create new original stories. nothing wrong with this, just predictable and not really what i'm in the mood for. i'm going to continue reading because i thin the world and the aestetics are genuinely interesting and we haven't even really dived...

easier systems to live in. the fact that kelli is merely a "script supervisor," basically someone who polishes off scrpits that ai spits out... chilling. on the other hand, i really feel like the story is bogged down by the dual timeline. so much of the background and character motivation that the past establishes could easily and more storngly be established in the present. for example, they have a whole lesson...
