Re your immediate reaction to 11.8’s last line “And then the next paragraph we learn the Slaughterhouse just went public or something like that?” Scroll down slowly and carefully to read only the first four comments in the thread for this chapter…

Alright, let’s take a look!

First! Also, that sounds like an invitation to something monumentally horrible to happen.

Hah, yeah. The end of 11.8 may be a high note, but it does still carry a strong sense of tempting fate.

Ahaha, the authorial smile and nod…

“everything just might work out.” – Which translates into: In what way may we kick Taylor’s puppy this week?

Careful, I don’t think Rachel would like that.

You would think by now that Taylor would have learned to stop saying stuff like that.

I was half expecting Wildbow to chime in again with another smiley face.

Have we really seen Taylor with this sort of optimism before, though? If anything, it seems like whatever is going to snap her out of it is going to drag her back to her existing worldview.

Unless of course it’s particularly bad, such as the Slaughterhouse Nine killing Danny. That’s definitely a thing that might happen, and if it does… Taylor definitely ain’t gonna like it.
