Hehe, I'm glad you were able to catch up and re-create the part of the story that disappeared! I didn't think we'd get to see or hear more about what happened to Aro and Sotelo before, but it's a lot more fun knowing why he's in a wheelchair now! With the accident being Sotelo's fault, it's no wonder Aro was cranky with him all this time, even if he still sounded a little cranky before he caused it too.
I wonder what ended up happening! :3 Lookin' forward to readin' more!

It just seemed like a good time to further explain what was left quite vague from way back in Chapter 8. Overall, much of the sequence playing out between Goatella, Sotelo, and Aro is not important to the plot of the story. However, without it, there would be a terrible lack of depth along with a huge question as to why Sotelo joins up with Ham-Ham and Hex. :)

Oh, on a funny note, the original actually had what you read here along with what happened afterwards. It was roughly 8 pages in length and, I felt, really wrapped things up nicely. Fortunately, the ol' memory serves me well and I am looking forward to writing the second half of this particular section even better-than-ever.

When it's all said and done, I do hope you like how it all plays out. It has been nothing short of spectacular having had the chance to evolve my writing technique through using your amazing characters. When this whole section is done, I do believe I will strongly miss having the three of them so readily at my disposal. There's just so much to each of them that, un-hinged, I could write stuff with respect to their dynamics for a long, long time. :) Oopa!

Hehe, it's alright! It's good to have some stuff in there just for fun, rather than making everything vital to the plot. (: At least then you have some breathing spaces and enjoyable writing segments!
Sometimes the second go around can be better than the first. (: I'd think writing something you know you're happy with, and having to do it again is really good, because then you know what to aim for! But I guess in that case it's easy to think of it as losing the perfect version of what you wanted. But it doesn't have to be that way.

That's how I feel when I move onto new chapters too! But I guess life's like that, even beyond art and writing. Everyone's presence is kinda limited, and depends on where and when you're with 'em. But it's good to move onto new sets of people in life, and characters too! Bwuhaha 8D
