Beautiful episode. 3:20, that's another beautiful card there, although I generally prefer swords over axes. Nice name, too! I'd also have picked entelechy from astronauts, they feel so "up there", not only physically, compared to moms and warriors. 15:40, a smuggler, huh? Sounds familiar... do you think he flies a _Firefly_ or a Corellian YT-1300? 19:00, first answer there went yandere so quick, I wasn't expecting that! 🤣⛓ 20:30, foreshadowing, predicting Aedana's fall by Fortuna's own hands?! 26:10, I like the contrast between the scene and the somewhat angelic character, well done! 37:05, really neat, the decorations give me "Four of swords" vibes! 41:10, 💚 That was a lot with Fortuna and her suicide attempts. Speaking from experience, you eventually get to a point where you're faced with two possibilities: you either write the finale to the current experience in the physical, or you come to realize and not only accept, but embrace, however reluctantly, that you're here to stay, even just by a sheer, deeply rooted sense of responsibility toward your loved ones _and_ yourself. Basically, there really isn't an easy way out - you just have to stick to your true self, who you _really_ are beyond the current physical "characterization" so to speak. At least, that's what ultimately did it for me, and the effect was so potent and deep that it felt like flipping a permanent switch, or, as I like to put it, permanently moving to a higher orbital (in reference to what electrons do at an atomic level). I'm also really curious about what Théa has to say... and how long it is before Aedana decides to cast Fortuna's humble abode into a quasar! ⚫🔆

I also really enjoyed playing this episode. It felt like a lot of foreshadowing for what's about to come and it feels like the ending is going to be a big one. It was a little rough to read Fortuna's dialogue in that moment because I have also struggled with depression for a very long time. I'm so happy to hear that you have found a reason to keep going and that you're still here! I know finding that reason can be a very difficult 🩵

Yes - and it's even more difficult if you consider that the realization that essentially made me choose to stay literally came to me in a dream, and right after it. I don't think that anything like medications or talking to psychologists could have had the same impact - clearly I needed the first-hand experience, even if "virtual", to bring back to my waking consciousness in order to produce such a profound and lasting change. Sometimes it makes me think of how many eventually commit suicide because psychologists, friends and family simply don't know the right tools to use at the right time on the right people, tools that are never taught or discussed. Admittedly, part of it was also probably my decision to "leave a door open", so to speak, to any wisdom or awareness that would make me change my mind. Also, I can see how relying on the interplay between dream state and waking state can basically be a one-in-a-million shot, so very difficult to apply in general and even more difficult for any operator to apply. Sounds like you're doing good now, too, I'm happy to see this! 💚 As for the story, being the dreamer I usually am, I still have faith that Fortuna can set things right, or at least not that bad! Besides, quasars are overrated anyway (in case Aedana does decide to give Fortuna a tour around one of them) 😄
