First off, no I’m not copying ‘Officer’s Verse’ I did not read the restaurant scene in that story till after I had reached the part in this one.
Now, my original idea was to have chapters dealing with the various dates and such between Vivian and Mark, but that would make Mark’s side ‘much’ longer than Usako’s. So instead for the first part of this chapter we have Vivian recalling and trying to figure out ‘how’ her plan went so wrong. Learn a little about her place of residence, and then some interaction between her and Mark as we learn more about him.
There’s also an indirect shout out to a game I’ve enjoyed playing. Those who’ve played it probably can spot the call out. Not to mention just a pinch of HFY flavoring to this chapter.
