Grace is such a good girl and Kejak plays the wise mentor so well when he's not being used as the Designated Final Boss-type.

Love hurts, she said

Doesn't mean it's not important, that you shouldn't seek to retain a connection to your roots even if it won't last forever. For all that they're agents of Destiny, Sidereals are also still humans, and it's wise not to forget that, even if it can hurt like hell.

This time when he strikes you, you land on your back in the sand. You stare up at the distant sun, blinking. The green glow of Kejak's anima falls onto you as he steps closer. "Three months, twenty-five days," you say.

Skill issue, I've watched enough Doctor Strange movies to understand that Time is an illusion. I would've just mastered the style in two days before I started practicing it.

"Oh, yeah," Hari says, pausing at the bottom of the ladder. "That—" she steps aside as a canine god dashes down the ladder headfirst, tossing off a friendly wave in Hari's direction as he runs down the hall. "If he slept under his desk less, he wouldn't be late so often," she mutters.

I fucking love Sidereal office humor.

There is always an ending, but who says this attachment has to end without it bringing some joy to Hari?

A difficult decision, but I want to see the kind of person Grace would hate, especially hate working with on something important.

I would like to see more Sidereals, and as for the advice... I'm inclined towards caution, personally. That doesn't necessarily mean it's the correct choice.
 
I really enjoyed the training in this chapter

"I'll hang on to hope," she said, "until Time itself ends."

Grace has a lot of messy but friendly ties so far; I'd like to see one that's just cursed and angry.

We'd be doing a poor job as our circle's Joybringer if we intentionally drew her towards heartache and sorrow, but a likewise poor job if we left her to let go of any potential of seeing what good could come.

It would be interesting to see how 'a Sidereal she doesn't like' mixes with 'But has a vested interest in a killer Lunar attacking the Realm', given that suggests they're likely another Bronze Faction.
 
Wow. That was simply brilliant. You've excellently captured the humbling unquantifiable relativity of time and the human minds struggle to encapsulate it beyond the the linear progression. Such fractured, inevitable majesty.

Not my cup of coffee unfortunately, even if it Ironically is Grace's. :V

That was one of the coolest and most hard-core martial arts training sequences I've ever seen, bar maybe Morpheus teaching Neo, the hyperbolic time chamber in Dragon Ball Z and Doctor Strange learning under the Ancient One.
