I'm holding myself back on the more truly eldritch transformations Raika will be capable of for now, but fuck me is book 2 gonna have some of the joys of transhumanism in it.

I promise we'll get back to goofy chapter titles soon. I solemnly swear. But for juuuust the start and prologue of Act 2, y'all get music references and portentous statements. Enjoy the new dynamic, and by next chapter we'll have a closer view of Raika's more physical and arcane changes, and ...

Ah, Buddha, your quotes always slap.
This one is ever so slightly under 2k words, and is more an exploration of Raika dealing with the aftermath of a really bad hit to her mental stability, and some of the conclusions she draws. 42 coming out soon!

This really changes things and will dramatically affect the story going forward, and feels like a genuinely powerful moment? And then you kinda have to do it?
