Shadow Stalker paused in her patrol when she arrived at the roof of the Hillside Mall,

downtown.

Eyyy, here we go.

She’d hoped to run into some looters, had had some luck earlier in the week at this spot, but it seemed that police forces were stationed at the entrances, now.  

Having trouble finding people to take out aggression on, are we?

Maybe that means you’ll just have to deal with it in a healthier way, for once.

Annoyed, she walked over to the corner of the roof, so the toes of her boots were just at the brink.

Someone, from below: “No!! Don’t jump!!!

Shadow Stalker: “What?”

Sentinel 9.6

It’s the moment of truth… time to find out whether or not we’re getting a chapter from Sophia’s point of view. I think we are, especially because this chapter comes immediately after Sophia escaped from the last chapter. It’s a nice potential transition into following her instead, perhaps getting some answers to Vista’s questions as her words brew in Sophia’s head.

The main alternative I see is that this chapter follows Chariot, but that seems less likely. If we’re getting chapters from both his POV and Sophia’s, his’ll probably be the next one.

I don’t think there’s much else to say, so let’s go!

Before I get started on today’s chapter, here’s a thing that just occurred to me: 

If this Arc ends with an Interlude, or there’s one mid-Arc, it’ll probably be from Taylor’s POV. I mean, we’re having an Arc where the chapters are like the Interludes we’ve had before, so why would that Arc not end with an Interlude that’s like what used to be the normal chapters?
