you say you saw your good friend flyin' low
Chapter 16 takes its title from the song "Snow Blind Friend" by Steppenwolf
Fane of Raman again! The original Mystery would reuse maps, after all.
We get Navarre again! And we have Phina as well! Apparently Ange looks like her cousins enough to be recognized as related, lol.
AND WE GET MIDIA AND NYNA! And that leads into getting Astram early! I love having Nyna early in this fic and having her kicking ass, she deserves to do so.
THE REVEAL HAPPENS. Originally Marth was going to be more distressed about this (back when we were in hiatus after finishing Break/Shake and doing the commentaries) but organically, as we wrote more Never Thought, I went with "it hurts a lot, he's a beloved friend, Gharnef's a dick for doing this, but this was inevitable once I knew Gharnef returned." AND I EXPLAINED HOW MAIA'S EXISTENCE MEANS THE FOUR CANON SACRIFICES ARE SAFE FROM GHARNEF. Incidental thing from picking Ange in the first place!
...Kinda want to make a side-story of Maia sassing the shit outta possessed!Hardin. That would be fun to write.
