Wow. I didn't realize Sotelo was that deep. O_o

I really do owe Nishi a lot for allowing me to be so openly expressive with his characters. This entire sequence would not have been possible without his kindness in allowing me such creative freedom.

That in mind, I used the information that was available for Aro, Sotelo, and Goatella to develop everything that transpired between Episode 6 and now. The goal of which to see how well I could form a relationship between the three based on what was known of them from Nishi's comics and various, descriptive arts of these delightful characters.

It'll be sad to not be writing exclusively about the three of them as of the next section. However, there are far too many other characters to develop and explore to stay stuck in one place for too long. Plus, as you can probably can agree, we are well overdue for some action. :)

Aww, hehe, I'm glad that after all these dramatic events, and all the bad moments they had together before, they finally decided to act like a family and try to have a good relationship with one another. (: And knowing that, maybe it'll be easier for Sotelo to move on and help out with the adventure at hand, now that he doesn't have to be insecure about Aro's motives. (: Woop woop! Really a nice chapter for 'em both.

I'm really glad you liked how this one turned out. It's a bit different than the original, but I still like how everything played out so well. :)

Overall, despite it seeming like I completely switched gears with the tale, I am hopeful that these last couple of sections have at least worked to show how the characters have more depth to them beyond being players in a one-time event. I could've easily just used the power of the Narrator to say that, after some deep discussion, Sotelo joins the team. However, it would've done a dis-service to all those involved and, furthermore, wouldn't have allowed me the chance to write an emotional scene. Part of the reason it is called Creative Campaign is that it allows me as a writer to be just that, creative. :)

Onto the next!

Hehe, exactly! As fun as the plots are to stories, I think it's important to have moments like this so it doesn't seem so rushed and shallow. Everyone has more to them than what it looks like! I think it's usually those moments that people usually enjoy more. :3
