And apparently, that&amp;apos;s what they hoped to talk about.  But turns out a physical gender bend curse that activates multiple times a day is an interesting topic and took over the conversation.

And then, in a most un-Eiji move, agrees to show it for real next time, assuming Jude comes back.  Despite the darker subtext to Jude&amp;apos;s curse, I think this scene ends up being really cute.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;As a funny aside, I&amp;apos;d originally written in my script for Jude to playfully ruffle Eiji&amp;apos;s hair in the last panel, but I&amp;apos;d accidentally drawn his hood back up through this outdoor scene.  I didn&amp;apos;t want redraw all the other panels, so Jude&amp;apos;s teasing gesture turned into yanking Eiji&amp;apos;s hood over his face.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Made it work!

But all potential versions of Volume 7 will release at the same time. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dlnuqvq-4fc04b22-a6b6-469d-876c-a2df343ea1e2.png/v1/fill/w_252,h_200,q_70,strp/big_rain_by_jocelynsamara_dlnuqvq-200h.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9Nzk0IiwicGF0aCI6Ii9mL2RhZDgxMTRhLTFjNWYtNDhiYy05YTAzLTBiODI1OGY5MzU2ZS9kbG51cXZxLTRmYzA0YjIyLWE2YjYtNDY5ZC04NzZjLWEyZGYzNDNlYTFlMi5wbmciLCJ3aWR0aCI6Ijw9MTAwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.tBc8rIM_diyUO8F4H2imQD-xiEK0Br2X02fy4cy7f9U&quot; alt=&quot;thumbnail&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>            </item>

But I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.  ^_^&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;©2022-2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Impossible Soulmate, all characters, and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to Jocelyn Samara (aka Lynn Senpai).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dlmn3c5-3345e55d-f1b5-4775-84b4-403ca80ca1c5.png/v1/fill/w_133,h_200,q_70,strp/mis_ch_7__p_233___twist_by_jocelynsamara_dlmn3c5-200h.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MTIwMCIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGxtbjNjNS0zMzQ1ZTU1ZC1mMWI1LTQ3NzUtODRiNC00MDNjYTgwY2ExYzUucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.1eNjLpX4265wmr-d4qjxeIwL1OgpUDU8Nj8z2UkrXfQ&quot; alt=&quot;thumbnail&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>            </item>

He has some concerns he can&amp;apos;t quite put his finger on and it&amp;apos;s worrying him.  But as he walks down the hall and passes a window, he catches a glimpse of Belial and Keegan training outside.  There&amp;apos;s probably a few ways to read this, but the main takeaway is that these kids give him hope.  Does he know more than he lets on, though?  Or is he simply choosing to have faith in today&amp;apos;s youth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&amp;apos;m nowhere near as old as Redge, but as I get older, I really do find him super relatable.

XD&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyway, if the segue isn&amp;apos;t obvious enough, we&amp;apos;ll focus on Belial and Keegan for the rest of the week.  &lt;img data-emote=&quot;:P&quot; data-type=&quot;official&quot; src=&quot;https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/letters/=p.gif&quot; width=&quot;15&quot; height=&quot;15&quot; class=&quot;LseXxm&quot; alt=&quot;:P&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;©2022-2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Impossible Soulmate, all characters, and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to Jocelyn Samara (aka Lynn Senpai).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dll1dka-51e70628-2548-4b40-9be5-73214eec02e2.png/v1/crop/w_100,h_201,x_0,y_0,scl_0.125,q_70,strp/mis_ch_7__p_230___brewing_by_jocelynsamara_dll1dka-200h.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MTc2NyIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGxsMWRrYS01MWU3MDYyOC0yNTQ4LTRiNDAtOWJlNS03MzIxNGVlYzAyZTIucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.PAdAI7_lHk4ZHxWnjLf-X4J99F19UZiZujcPA4g8ass&quot; alt=&quot;thumbnail&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>            </item>

So let&amp;apos;s finally meet the Board.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;There&amp;apos;s a lot to unpack here, as we see their faces, and hear what each one is yelling about.  Due to character limits on some sites, I won&amp;apos;t go into all of it (feel free to comment on whatever you like, though!).  But the details I really want you to keep fresh in your mind include the &amp;quot;R3 Job,&amp;quot; which we saw Redge assign to Nara, and the currently absent member of the Board, Cillian, who&amp;apos;s been namedropped once very early on.  We still don&amp;apos;t have a lot of information on either one, but these are things we&amp;apos;ll be going into again in the future of the story.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc&quot; href=&quot;https://www.deviantart.com/jocelynsamara/art/MIS-ch-5-p-136-Hunches-1045266555&quot;&gt;MIS ch.5, p.136 - Hunches&lt;/a&gt; (regarding the R3 Job)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc&quot; href=&quot;https://www.deviantart.com/jocelynsamara/art/MIS-ch-2-p-59-Starseer-Bo-961117870&quot;&gt;MIS ch.2, p.59 - Starseer Bo&lt;/a&gt; (regarding Cillian)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Finally, the last thing I want to address here is one of the Board members, Erik Westergaard.  But more specifically, I want to address &lt;em&gt;what&lt;/em&gt; he is.  He is a drake, or a dragon demi-human.  After bastet (cats), kitsune (foxes), nereids (fish), skyfolk (winged), and hybrids (golems?), drakes are the last type of demi-human we&amp;apos;ll be encountering in the story.  I had considered plenty more, with the freedom to just make more up whenever I want, but for my own reasons (both meta and plot reasons) I am purposely keeping it limited to these six types of demi-humans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;For what it&amp;apos;s worth, Miriam is a nereid, Francisca is a bastet, and Milo is a kitsune.  Grant and Redge are holo-humans.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;©2022-2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Impossible Soulmate, all characters, and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to Jocelyn Samara (aka Lynn Senpai).&lt;/p&gt;</media:description>            <media:thumbnail url="https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dlkaeg9-ef44d92e-71e1-4554-8853-5f7ff1f6f2c7.png/v1/fit/w_150,h_150,q_70,strp/mis_ch_7__p_229___the_board_by_jocelynsamara_dlkaeg9-150.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MzM5MSIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGxrYWVnOS1lZjQ0ZDkyZS03MWUxLTQ1NTQtODg1My01ZjdmZjFmNmYyYzcucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.22IiI0nlMNJXxLgHQv6XmkBF0ptsUES1_f6zR6L-PeQ" height="150" width="35"/>            <media:thumbnail url="https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dlkaeg9-ef44d92e-71e1-4554-8853-5f7ff1f6f2c7.png/v1/fit/w_300,h_900,q_70,strp/mis_ch_7__p_229___the_board_by_jocelynsamara_dlkaeg9-300w.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MzM5MSIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGxrYWVnOS1lZjQ0ZDkyZS03MWUxLTQ1NTQtODg1My01ZjdmZjFmNmYyYzcucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.22IiI0nlMNJXxLgHQv6XmkBF0ptsUES1_f6zR6L-PeQ" height="900" width="212"/>            <media:thumbnail url="https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dlkaeg9-ef44d92e-71e1-4554-8853-5f7ff1f6f2c7.png/v1/crop/w_100,h_201,x_0,y_0,scl_0.125,q_70,strp/mis_ch_7__p_229___the_board_by_jocelynsamara_dlkaeg9-200h.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MzM5MSIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGxrYWVnOS1lZjQ0ZDkyZS03MWUxLTQ1NTQtODg1My01ZjdmZjFmNmYyYzcucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.22IiI0nlMNJXxLgHQv6XmkBF0ptsUES1_f6zR6L-PeQ" height="201" width="100"/>            <media:content url="https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dlkaeg9-ef44d92e-71e1-4554-8853-5f7ff1f6f2c7.png/v1/fill/w_434,h_1841,q_70,strp/mis_ch_7__p_229___the_board_by_jocelynsamara_dlkaeg9-pre.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MzM5MSIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGxrYWVnOS1lZjQ0ZDkyZS03MWUxLTQ1NTQtODg1My01ZjdmZjFmNmYyYzcucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.22IiI0nlMNJXxLgHQv6XmkBF0ptsUES1_f6zR6L-PeQ" height="1841" width="434" medium="image"/>

        <media:copyright url="https://www.deviantart.com/jocelynsamara">Copyright 2026 JocelynSamara</media:copyright>            <media:description type="html">&lt;p&gt;So, I originally planned to have Pokemon 30th anniversary art ready for tomorrow (featuring my 30 favorite Pokemon), but that&amp;apos;s just not happening.  I&amp;apos;ve had the idea bouncing around in my head since before the 29th anniversary last year, and I still procrastinated until earlier this week to even narrow down my choices, much less start drawing.  I&amp;apos;m about halfway done with the anniversary art but I&amp;apos;m tired, and I don&amp;apos;t think I&amp;apos;m finishing it by tomorrow.  Sorry.  It&amp;apos;ll get done, but not on the anniversary date.  &lt;img data-emote=&quot;^^;&quot; data-type=&quot;official&quot; src=&quot;https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif&quot; width=&quot;19&quot; height=&quot;19&quot; class=&quot;LseXxm&quot; alt=&quot;^^;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In its place, have this little sidestep.  Some of you who&amp;apos;ve followed me for a long time may remember me having big aspirations to do a Pokemon Moon Nuzlocke comic, called Moonlight Wanderers (coming Spring 2018).  It never happened, and if I&amp;apos;m being honest with myself, I don&amp;apos;t think it ever will.  It&amp;apos;s okay.  I&amp;apos;ve made my peace with it.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;But rather than dropping it completely and never thinking about it again, I made reference to it in Rain, with Chanel as a webcomic artist in the end.  And at least in the blurbs, it was called &amp;quot;Sunlight Drifters&amp;quot; (it&amp;apos;s admittedly never mentioned directly in-comic).  In the bonus chapter of the upcoming final book, we see this cover too, featuring MW&amp;apos;s protagonist, Maya, repurposed to a daytime setting.  And she&amp;apos;s joined by two &amp;quot;legally unique&amp;quot; Fakemon I made up just for this cover, Racool and Faecorn.  This will probably never be expounded upon much more than this, but I&amp;apos;m glad I could finally do something with Maya (and I&amp;apos;m quite fond of the friends I gave her).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&amp;apos;s, again, perhaps a few steps removed from really celebrating Pokemon, but I did want to share this publicly anyway.  And if it weren&amp;apos;t for Pokemon, we wouldn&amp;apos;t have not had Moonlight Wanderers.  XD&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thus we wouldn&amp;apos;t have Sunlight Drifters either.  Maybe not even Rain or MIS.  Even if the connecting thread seems odd, Pokemon is a huge inspiration for me, so it&amp;apos;s hard to say for sure, but it&amp;apos;s technically possible.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;All this to say: Happy 30th Pokemon Day!

            <description>&lt;p&gt;So, I originally planned to have Pokemon 30th anniversary art ready for tomorrow (featuring my 30 favorite Pokemon), but that&amp;apos;s just not happening.  I&amp;apos;ve had the idea bouncing around in my head since before the 29th anniversary last year, and I still procrastinated until earlier this week to even narrow down my choices, much less start drawing.  I&amp;apos;m about halfway done with the anniversary art but I&amp;apos;m tired, and I don&amp;apos;t think I&amp;apos;m finishing it by tomorrow.  Sorry.  It&amp;apos;ll get done, but not on the anniversary date.  &lt;img data-emote=&quot;^^;&quot; data-type=&quot;official&quot; src=&quot;https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif&quot; width=&quot;19&quot; height=&quot;19&quot; class=&quot;LseXxm&quot; alt=&quot;^^;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In its place, have this little sidestep.  Some of you who&amp;apos;ve followed me for a long time may remember me having big aspirations to do a Pokemon Moon Nuzlocke comic, called Moonlight Wanderers (coming Spring 2018).  It never happened, and if I&amp;apos;m being honest with myself, I don&amp;apos;t think it ever will.  It&amp;apos;s okay.  I&amp;apos;ve made my peace with it.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;But rather than dropping it completely and never thinking about it again, I made reference to it in Rain, with Chanel as a webcomic artist in the end.  And at least in the blurbs, it was called &amp;quot;Sunlight Drifters&amp;quot; (it&amp;apos;s admittedly never mentioned directly in-comic).  In the bonus chapter of the upcoming final book, we see this cover too, featuring MW&amp;apos;s protagonist, Maya, repurposed to a daytime setting.  And she&amp;apos;s joined by two &amp;quot;legally unique&amp;quot; Fakemon I made up just for this cover, Racool and Faecorn.  This will probably never be expounded upon much more than this, but I&amp;apos;m glad I could finally do something with Maya (and I&amp;apos;m quite fond of the friends I gave her).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&amp;apos;s, again, perhaps a few steps removed from really celebrating Pokemon, but I did want to share this publicly anyway.  And if it weren&amp;apos;t for Pokemon, we wouldn&amp;apos;t have not had Moonlight Wanderers.  XD&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thus we wouldn&amp;apos;t have Sunlight Drifters either.  Maybe not even Rain or MIS.  Even if the connecting thread seems odd, Pokemon is a huge inspiration for me, so it&amp;apos;s hard to say for sure, but it&amp;apos;s technically possible.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;All this to say: Happy 30th Pokemon Day!  Stay tuned for actual 30th anniversary Pokemon art, and of course, Rain Volume 7.

I can&amp;apos;t wait for the next adventure!  ^_^&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dlivuno-874a54cb-32d5-4c03-8496-f91d0cb970b4.png/v1/fill/w_150,h_200,q_70,strp/legend_of_zelda_40th_anniversary_by_jocelynsamara_dlivuno-200h.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MTMzMyIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGxpdnVuby04NzRhNTRjYi0zMmQ1LTRjMDMtODQ5Ni1mOTFkMGNiOTcwYjQucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTEwMDAifV1dLCJhdWQiOlsidXJuOnNlcnZpY2U6aW1hZ2Uub3BlcmF0aW9ucyJdfQ.uTUJsfqkedMx1MFm19U7dOCRn8hjMqE8JnTbC3gQphc&quot; alt=&quot;thumbnail&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>            </item>

Jude - choker and all - is a based on a character of mine from a now long since scrapped story.  I might have come up with them as far back as my high school days.  They weren&amp;apos;t an enby then, and pain wasn&amp;apos;t originally part of the transformation equation (the change was more &amp;quot;Ranma-esque&amp;quot; and largely an outlet for myself, of course).  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;But the idea of the choker once belonging to an ancient hedonistic king in an attempt to keep him in line?  That is word for word how I planned it back then.  I decided to play with how stupid of a plan that is, though.  My wisdom and experience today tells me this almost certainly wouldn&amp;apos;t have had any positive impact on the selfish king unless they wanted this to some extent.  Themis did not.  So it was basically torture for no reason for him.  As a kid, I didn&amp;apos;t know better.  (I just knew I kinda wanted it.)  As an adult, I decided to present it as the advisor&amp;apos;s ignorance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;So in summation, this is now a brutal curse, that in a misguided attempt to better a long past king, ended in two high profile deaths, is tormenting a new kid thousands of years later - less because of the effects on their sex and more because it stole away their identity and may someday kill them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;TL;DR - I took a very old, very vanilla gender bender concept, and tried to give it a new and potentially horrifying new twist.  I hope y&amp;apos;all think it&amp;apos;s as interesting as I do.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyway, we&amp;apos;ll uh... dial things back a touch next week.

Jude - choker and all - is a based on a character of mine from a now long since scrapped story.  I might have come up with them as far back as my high school days.  They weren&amp;apos;t an enby then, and pain wasn&amp;apos;t originally part of the transformation equation (the change was more &amp;quot;Ranma-esque&amp;quot; and largely an outlet for myself, of course).  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;But the idea of the choker once belonging to an ancient hedonistic king in an attempt to keep him in line?  That is word for word how I planned it back then.  I decided to play with how stupid of a plan that is, though.  My wisdom and experience today tells me this almost certainly wouldn&amp;apos;t have had any positive impact on the selfish king unless they wanted this to some extent.  Themis did not.  So it was basically torture for no reason for him.  As a kid, I didn&amp;apos;t know better.  (I just knew I kinda wanted it.)  As an adult, I decided to present it as the advisor&amp;apos;s ignorance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;So in summation, this is now a brutal curse, that in a misguided attempt to better a long past king, ended in two high profile deaths, is tormenting a new kid thousands of years later - less because of the effects on their sex and more because it stole away their identity and may someday kill them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;TL;DR - I took a very old, very vanilla gender bender concept, and tried to give it a new and potentially horrifying new twist.  I hope y&amp;apos;all think it&amp;apos;s as interesting as I do.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyway, we&amp;apos;ll uh... dial things back a touch next week.  But don&amp;apos;t worry: there&amp;apos;s plenty more existential nightmares to come!

I don&amp;apos;t think it&amp;apos;s anything too graphic, but I do want you to have the fair warning.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;©2022-2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Impossible Soulmate, all characters, and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to Jocelyn Samara (aka Lynn Senpai).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dlgln08-5189425c-11b3-4470-b44f-71e3d3265a15.png/v1/crop/w_100,h_201,x_0,y_0,scl_0.125,q_70,strp/mis_ch_7__p_222___jude_by_jocelynsamara_dlgln08-200h.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MTg2MCIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGxnbG4wOC01MTg5NDI1Yy0xMWIzLTQ0NzAtYjQ0Zi03MWUzZDMyNjVhMTUucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.rWL6wcaYinNEimDl85klHvfREhsQ36jLrMi8kMa_YdM&quot; alt=&quot;thumbnail&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>            </item>

These are Bonnie&amp;apos;s words to him in the previous chapter.  I gave it the &amp;quot;flashback graininess&amp;quot; in an attempt to show he&amp;apos;s just remembering these words and Bonnie&amp;apos;s not actually in the room with him right now.

        <media:copyright url="https://www.deviantart.com/jocelynsamara">Copyright 2025-2026 JocelynSamara</media:copyright>            <media:description type="html">&lt;p&gt;On this day, fifteen years ago, I started a silly little webcomic called &lt;em&gt;Rain&lt;/em&gt;, about a trans girl doing her best to be herself in high school.  I wasn&amp;apos;t sure I was going to stick with it.  I wasn&amp;apos;t sure anyone but me would even care.  It was the kind of story I needed but didn&amp;apos;t have when I was growing up, but being the only trans person I knew at the time, I was admittedly expecting it wouldn&amp;apos;t click for anyone else.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Queer folks have told me they came out after reading it.  Trans folks told me they started transition after reading it.  Cis folks told me they better understood the queer and trans people in their lives after reading it.  Folks of all kinds figured themselves out after reading it.  And more than once, I&amp;apos;ve been told by folks that they&amp;apos;re still here because of it.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&amp;apos;s a lot to take in.  It often feels like more praise than I deserve, considering the simplistic art, and frequently overly verbose dialogue.  But it also means the world to me that it resonated so much with people.  I&amp;apos;m so grateful that the story I needed meant so much to so many other people.  It&amp;apos;s more than I could&amp;apos;ve ever asked for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;So thank you to everyone who&amp;apos;s ever read it, and everyone who will read it someday.  You&amp;apos;re the reason I could keep at it.  You&amp;apos;re the reason I was able to finish it.  You&amp;apos;re the reason I&amp;apos;ll be able to release the final physical volume very soon.  I started this because I wanted it, but I couldn&amp;apos;t have finished it without you!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your ongoing support.  In return, I hope I can continue to help you laugh and smile and grow.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;***&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you&amp;apos;ve never read Rain yourself, you can start right here:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc&quot; href=&quot;https://rain.thecomicseries.com/comics/1/&quot;&gt;https://rain.thecomicseries.com/comics/1/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you&amp;apos;ve already finished Rain and want something new, my second webcomic, My Impossible Soulmate, might interest you too.  Like Rain, it is full of trans and queer characters, but this time with a bit more of a romantic fantasy adventure.  This one is ongoing, but on hiatus until probably the new year at this point.

It was the kind of story I needed but didn&amp;apos;t have when I was growing up, but being the only trans person I knew at the time, I was admittedly expecting it wouldn&amp;apos;t click for anyone else.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Queer folks have told me they came out after reading it.  Trans folks told me they started transition after reading it.  Cis folks told me they better understood the queer and trans people in their lives after reading it.  Folks of all kinds figured themselves out after reading it.  And more than once, I&amp;apos;ve been told by folks that they&amp;apos;re still here because of it.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&amp;apos;s a lot to take in.  It often feels like more praise than I deserve, considering the simplistic art, and frequently overly verbose dialogue.  But it also means the world to me that it resonated so much with people.  I&amp;apos;m so grateful that the story I needed meant so much to so many other people.  It&amp;apos;s more than I could&amp;apos;ve ever asked for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;So thank you to everyone who&amp;apos;s ever read it, and everyone who will read it someday.  You&amp;apos;re the reason I could keep at it.  You&amp;apos;re the reason I was able to finish it.  You&amp;apos;re the reason I&amp;apos;ll be able to release the final physical volume very soon.  I started this because I wanted it, but I couldn&amp;apos;t have finished it without you!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your ongoing support.  In return, I hope I can continue to help you laugh and smile and grow.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;***&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you&amp;apos;ve never read Rain yourself, you can start right here:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc&quot; href=&quot;https://rain.thecomicseries.com/comics/1/&quot;&gt;https://rain.thecomicseries.com/comics/1/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you&amp;apos;ve already finished Rain and want something new, my second webcomic, My Impossible Soulmate, might interest you too.  Like Rain, it is full of trans and queer characters, but this time with a bit more of a romantic fantasy adventure.  This one is ongoing, but on hiatus until probably the new year at this point.  Still you can read what&amp;apos;s available here:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc&quot; href=&quot;https://mis.thecomicseries.com/comics/1/&quot;&gt;https://mis.thecomicseries.com/comics/1/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;***&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sales will continue through the weekend!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Use coupon code &lt;strong&gt;BOOKGIFT30&lt;/strong&gt; for 30% off &lt;em&gt;Rain&lt;/em&gt; books on Lulu!

So here&amp;apos;s a quick update.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&amp;apos;s been a rough year for &lt;em&gt;MIS&lt;/em&gt; and for me. The last canon page was just about six months ago, and even then, the last update was about four months ago. The good news is that the task I set out to do - work on the final volume of my previous comic, &lt;em&gt;Rain&lt;/em&gt; - is in its last phases. The extra long bonus chapter is complete and drawn, which for me, was the biggest obstacle. I&amp;apos;m currently working on the book cover (ended up being basically the last thing because I was struggling to settle on a design I was happy with). And then I&amp;apos;ll do edits, and I can finally submit everything.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;apos;ve also done a little bit of prep work for some future projects (I&amp;apos;ll go into that at a later date), and worked on a few collab pieces with friends (also to be seen at a later date). So even if I&amp;apos;ve been quiet, I&amp;apos;ve been keeping myself busy. I did want to participate in one of the many October daily drawing challenges too, but the last thing I need is to put even more on my plate right now.  &lt;img data-emote=&quot;^^;&quot; data-type=&quot;official&quot; src=&quot;https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif&quot; width=&quot;19&quot; height=&quot;19&quot; class=&quot;LseXxm&quot; alt=&quot;^^;&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All that said, I&amp;apos;ve been thinking about &lt;em&gt;MIS&lt;/em&gt; a lot over all this time. I miss it so much. I miss my kids. I miss sharing their story. I&amp;apos;m worried people will forget about them. But I think I&amp;apos;ll be ready to get back to drawing pages again within the next week or so.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;I don&amp;apos;t have a return date set in stone at this very moment. I&amp;apos;d like to have a fairly substantial page buffer at the ready so I can keep things going for a while without any unplanned breaks slowing things down, though. So best case scenario, I&amp;apos;d love to see &lt;em&gt;MIS&lt;/em&gt; return to regular posting perhaps next month. Worst case, we restart fresh in 2026. I&amp;apos;m gonna do my damnedest to get things moving along as soon as I can, but as you just read, I&amp;apos;ve had a lot on my plate (and that&amp;apos;s just the art stuff).

Heck, I meant to make new character profiles for Esther, Seir, and Marchosias during this break and none of that happened either.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;The super short version is that at the time the last chapter ended, depression and burnout hit me &lt;strong&gt;hard&lt;/strong&gt;.  On a personal level, our apartment was (and still is) in disarray after our landlord had to come in and do a ton of work on our bathroom only to have to stop partway (for honestly legit reasons).  This is an ongoing thing, and due to the current heatwave, he probably won&amp;apos;t be back to finish until next week, leaving the busted up look of everything to continue to be a source of stress.  All the while, I&amp;apos;m worried about my elderly mother who has dementia, and my elderly father who&amp;apos;s been having cardiac concerns.  And none of this to even speak of the stress cause by the horrifying goings on in my country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;It was making me feel helplessly, perpetually tired.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&amp;apos;m not going to claim everything is all better now.  But I have been taking it slow for the better part of two months while I dealt with life for a bit.  I was able to take a fair bit of time for me to rest and zone out as needed, and I finally took a long needed visit home to see my family.  So I&amp;apos;m not all better, but I am... &lt;strong&gt;better&lt;/strong&gt;.  And I couldn&amp;apos;t ask for more right now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;During the last few months, though, what I didn&amp;apos;t do a lot of was draw.  I contributed to a handful of collabs where I didn&amp;apos;t want to let my friends down, and I managed some new rat doodles here and there.  But I only have the cover and two pages for the next chapter and basically nothing else ready to go (although the script is done for the next two full chapters).  Again, I needed that time, so ultimately, it was for the best.  But this does put things in an awkward position right now, because I can&amp;apos;t exactly say &amp;quot;stay tuned for new pages next week!&amp;quot; because I&amp;apos;m simply not ready, and that&amp;apos;s just a recipe for rebooting the burnout I literally just got over.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;My original plan was to finish chapters 7 and 8 to reach what I felt was a good &amp;quot;season finale-like&amp;quot; stopping point, and then take an extended break to shift focus entirely towards the final &lt;em&gt;Rain&lt;/em&gt; book until I get it done.  I also thought Chapters 7 and 8 would probably be done by now, or maybe next month the latest.  I didn&amp;apos;t anticipate the two breaks I would need in the middle of Chapter 6 or the extended one I&amp;apos;ve been taking now.  So I&amp;apos;m thinking I want to pivot to a new approach.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;My new plan is to expedite the latter.  I want to prioritize focus on the last book, to give it a hint of a chance of actually finally coming out this year (it&amp;apos;s the 15th anniversary of &lt;em&gt;Rain&lt;/em&gt; this November, so I&amp;apos;d really &lt;strong&gt;really&lt;/strong&gt; love to see it release this year).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;I sincerely apologize for those of you chomping at the bit for more &lt;em&gt;MIS&lt;/em&gt;.  But I promise, it will return.  And once I complete my previous story once and for all - for real this time - then I can go all in, with &lt;em&gt;MIS&lt;/em&gt; finally allowed to have my full attention without an air of guilt hovering over me that I still need to do something else, and overwhelming all the time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;It may be a longer than usual wait, but I think it&amp;apos;ll be especially worth it in the long run.  The final &lt;em&gt;Rain&lt;/em&gt; book will be better for it, and &lt;em&gt;MIS&lt;/em&gt; will be better for it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sorry again for the extended break, but thank you so much for all your love, support, and patience while I work through everything.  I love you all.  Please stay safe, stay happy, and stay healthy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Until next time!

And once I complete my previous story once and for all - for real this time - then I can go all in, with &lt;em&gt;MIS&lt;/em&gt; finally allowed to have my full attention without an air of guilt hovering over me that I still need to do something else, and overwhelming all the time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;It may be a longer than usual wait, but I think it&amp;apos;ll be especially worth it in the long run.  The final &lt;em&gt;Rain&lt;/em&gt; book will be better for it, and &lt;em&gt;MIS&lt;/em&gt; will be better for it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sorry again for the extended break, but thank you so much for all your love, support, and patience while I work through everything.  I love you all.  Please stay safe, stay happy, and stay healthy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Until next time!  Please enjoy the above visual of my girls taking turns, so they can both come back all the stronger.  &amp;#128156;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dk0hz3h-9ba170ca-ed30-48ff-9aaf-53662407780e.png/v1/fill/w_300,h_180,q_70,strp/big_life_and_comics_update_by_jocelynsamara_dk0hz3h-200h.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9NjAwIiwicGF0aCI6Ii9mL2RhZDgxMTRhLTFjNWYtNDhiYy05YTAzLTBiODI1OGY5MzU2ZS9kazBoejNoLTliYTE3MGNhLWVkMzAtNDhmZi05YWFmLTUzNjYyNDA3NzgwZS5wbmciLCJ3aWR0aCI6Ijw9MTAwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.zVzjpt9bVyiudtvtfIF_Pf1dCjJvoFfx-i2NJw_6bPA&quot; alt=&quot;thumbnail&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>            </item>

It&amp;apos;s been the longest chapter so far in terms of page count.  And it&amp;apos;s taken an extra long time from start to finish because life threw a lot of curveballs at me (at a lot of us, I&amp;apos;m sure).  But we made it.  They made it.  We&amp;apos;re here.  It&amp;apos;s far from over, but it&amp;apos;s a little victory worth acknowledging.  &lt;img data-emote=&quot;:)&quot; data-type=&quot;official&quot; src=&quot;https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif&quot; width=&quot;15&quot; height=&quot;15&quot; class=&quot;LseXxm&quot; alt=&quot;:)&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;There&amp;apos;s still a lot to process for every character, and a lot of questions that still need answers.  We&amp;apos;ll get to all of that in time.  But for today?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chiaki gets a little peck on the cheek for her accidental heroism.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&amp;apos;s a bold move for Nagisa, but perhaps Bonnie&amp;apos;s words sparked something in her.  As for Chiaki, I doubt she expected anything like this.  The night has been a lot.  This whole first week in another world has been a lot!  And surely, Rhys&amp;apos; words are sitting heavy on her mind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;But hey, she got a kiss from a cute girl and that&amp;apos;s pretty great!  (Happy Lesbian Visibility Week, by the way!  I didn&amp;apos;t know the first real kiss of the story would happen to be this week; it&amp;apos;s just a happy accident.)  XD&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;It just might be a bit to process in it&amp;apos;s own right, though.

It&amp;apos;s been the longest chapter so far in terms of page count.  And it&amp;apos;s taken an extra long time from start to finish because life threw a lot of curveballs at me (at a lot of us, I&amp;apos;m sure).  But we made it.  They made it.  We&amp;apos;re here.  It&amp;apos;s far from over, but it&amp;apos;s a little victory worth acknowledging.  &lt;img data-emote=&quot;:)&quot; data-type=&quot;official&quot; src=&quot;https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif&quot; width=&quot;15&quot; height=&quot;15&quot; class=&quot;LseXxm&quot; alt=&quot;:)&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;There&amp;apos;s still a lot to process for every character, and a lot of questions that still need answers.  We&amp;apos;ll get to all of that in time.  But for today?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chiaki gets a little peck on the cheek for her accidental heroism.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&amp;apos;s a bold move for Nagisa, but perhaps Bonnie&amp;apos;s words sparked something in her.  As for Chiaki, I doubt she expected anything like this.  The night has been a lot.  This whole first week in another world has been a lot!  And surely, Rhys&amp;apos; words are sitting heavy on her mind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;But hey, she got a kiss from a cute girl and that&amp;apos;s pretty great!  (Happy Lesbian Visibility Week, by the way!  I didn&amp;apos;t know the first real kiss of the story would happen to be this week; it&amp;apos;s just a happy accident.)  XD&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;It just might be a bit to process in it&amp;apos;s own right, though.

And she hopes to talk to Nagisa about shared experiences with dating an Unbound.  Bonnie addresses the series of coincidences that&amp;apos;s led Rhys to her, noting their unique connection, alluding to his apparently profound impact on her, and even dropping &amp;quot;the s word.&amp;quot;  Nagisa doesn&amp;apos;t say a lot herself, but Bonnie can read her like a book.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;And as quickly as it starts, it ends.  Bonnie takes off, but not before showing her vote of support to Nagisa with Chiaki.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;One more page before we close this longest &lt;em&gt;MIS&lt;/em&gt; chapter to date.  ^_^&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;©2022-2025&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Impossible Soulmate, all characters, and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to Jocelyn Samara (aka Lynn Senpai).&lt;/p&gt;</media:description>            <media:thumbnail url="https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/djmfgnj-6357b4bd-b62d-4b5e-8148-4439e22bb9eb.png/v1/fit/w_150,h_150,q_70,strp/mis_ch_6__p_208___soulmate_by_jocelynsamara_djmfgnj-150.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MzIzOCIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGptZmduai02MzU3YjRiZC1iNjJkLTRiNWUtODE0OC00NDM5ZTIyYmI5ZWIucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.1ecKM5E3yHPBAsk76tDqG8P7QXXr8teLZZ-joB_Dq4U" height="150" width="37"/>            <media:thumbnail url="https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/djmfgnj-6357b4bd-b62d-4b5e-8148-4439e22bb9eb.png/v1/fit/w_300,h_900,q_70,strp/mis_ch_6__p_208___soulmate_by_jocelynsamara_djmfgnj-300w.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MzIzOCIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGptZmduai02MzU3YjRiZC1iNjJkLTRiNWUtODE0OC00NDM5ZTIyYmI5ZWIucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.1ecKM5E3yHPBAsk76tDqG8P7QXXr8teLZZ-joB_Dq4U" height="900" width="222"/>            <media:thumbnail url="https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/djmfgnj-6357b4bd-b62d-4b5e-8148-4439e22bb9eb.png/v1/crop/w_100,h_201,x_0,y_0,scl_0.125,q_70,strp/mis_ch_6__p_208___soulmate_by_jocelynsamara_djmfgnj-200h.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MzIzOCIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGptZmduai02MzU3YjRiZC1iNjJkLTRiNWUtODE0OC00NDM5ZTIyYmI5ZWIucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.1ecKM5E3yHPBAsk76tDqG8P7QXXr8teLZZ-joB_Dq4U" height="201" width="100"/>            <media:content url="https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/djmfgnj-6357b4bd-b62d-4b5e-8148-4439e22bb9eb.png/v1/fill/w_444,h_1799,q_70,strp/mis_ch_6__p_208___soulmate_by_jocelynsamara_djmfgnj-pre.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MzIzOCIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGptZmduai02MzU3YjRiZC1iNjJkLTRiNWUtODE0OC00NDM5ZTIyYmI5ZWIucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.1ecKM5E3yHPBAsk76tDqG8P7QXXr8teLZZ-joB_Dq4U" height="1799" width="444" medium="image"/>

Bonnie addresses the series of coincidences that&amp;apos;s led Rhys to her, noting their unique connection, alluding to his apparently profound impact on her, and even dropping &amp;quot;the s word.&amp;quot;  Nagisa doesn&amp;apos;t say a lot herself, but Bonnie can read her like a book.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;And as quickly as it starts, it ends.  Bonnie takes off, but not before showing her vote of support to Nagisa with Chiaki.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;One more page before we close this longest &lt;em&gt;MIS&lt;/em&gt; chapter to date.  ^_^&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;©2022-2025&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Impossible Soulmate, all characters, and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to Jocelyn Samara (aka Lynn Senpai).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/djmfgnj-6357b4bd-b62d-4b5e-8148-4439e22bb9eb.png/v1/crop/w_100,h_201,x_0,y_0,scl_0.125,q_70,strp/mis_ch_6__p_208___soulmate_by_jocelynsamara_djmfgnj-200h.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MzIzOCIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGptZmduai02MzU3YjRiZC1iNjJkLTRiNWUtODE0OC00NDM5ZTIyYmI5ZWIucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.1ecKM5E3yHPBAsk76tDqG8P7QXXr8teLZZ-joB_Dq4U&quot; alt=&quot;thumbnail&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>            </item>

While Rhys knows of the device, he doesn&amp;apos;t know it as UsaMaMa-chan, but as Bunnie Buddie.

We will revisit this storyline a bit later.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Next time, and for the remainder of the chapter, we&amp;apos;ll return our focus to the main kids.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;©2022-2025&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Impossible Soulmate, all characters, and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to Jocelyn Samara (aka Lynn Senpai).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/djj9nvo-83f81323-c670-414c-a0c7-1ffef71bf29c.png/v1/crop/w_100,h_201,x_0,y_0,scl_0.125,q_70,strp/mis_ch_6__p_204___catharsis_by_jocelynsamara_djj9nvo-200h.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MTY5NiIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGpqOW52by04M2Y4MTMyMy1jNjcwLTQxNGMtYTBjNy0xZmZlZjcxYmYyOWMucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.dDGSikS-07p_m-hX7fc0tMDpNY80CZriagU8_6xE69A&quot; alt=&quot;thumbnail&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>            </item>

Instead, Nagisa&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;secret weapon&amp;quot; is revealed to be a medallion as well.  She takes this choker, and just pulls this &lt;em&gt;potentially familiar&lt;/em&gt; polearm weapon out of it.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;A lot of curious dialogue follows, as Marchosias seems to recognize this weapon and is enraged by it.

A chunk of ice is lodged in Nara right below the shoulder.  It&amp;apos;s not instantly fatal, but it&amp;apos;s a nasty looking wound and probably needs medical attention as soon as possible.  Eiji got mixed up in the attack, with a pretty bad injury of his own, but his slight interference may have prevented the chunk from going completely through.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;So the good news is: they&amp;apos;re both alive!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;The other bad news: the situation is still dire.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;With Nara unable to fight, the kids are all relatively defenseless.  I wanna be clear that his isn&amp;apos;t a My Hero Academia situation, where it&amp;apos;s a whole class of superpowered kids trained to deal with this exact situation.  This is a class of mostly helpless children who&amp;apos;ve largely never seen real combat in their lives.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Exceptions we know may include Jude, Belial, and Keegan.  Keegan has apparently had a knife on him all this time, and we know he&amp;apos;s fast, but can we be sure it&amp;apos;s enough?  Belial doesn&amp;apos;t think so.  And she has the demonic strength, but as we learned earlier in the chapter, she&amp;apos;s not a disciplined fighter and lost to Jude who was at a disadvantage in terms of strength... and also sick from their curse.  Jude does seem to have skill and discipline, but they&amp;apos;re not stepping forward right now, which could be saying a lot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nagisa, out of everyone, is the one to make the first move.  &lt;a target=&quot;&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc&quot; href=&quot;https://www.deviantart.com/jocelynsamara/art/MIS-ch-6-p-168-Tag-Along-1113445619&quot;&gt;She has her &amp;quot;secret weapon,&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; but it&amp;apos;s unclear what it is, or if she really knows what she&amp;apos;s doing yet.

I wanna be clear that his isn&amp;apos;t a My Hero Academia situation, where it&amp;apos;s a whole class of superpowered kids trained to deal with this exact situation.  This is a class of mostly helpless children who&amp;apos;ve largely never seen real combat in their lives.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Exceptions we know may include Jude, Belial, and Keegan.  Keegan has apparently had a knife on him all this time, and we know he&amp;apos;s fast, but can we be sure it&amp;apos;s enough?  Belial doesn&amp;apos;t think so.  And she has the demonic strength, but as we learned earlier in the chapter, she&amp;apos;s not a disciplined fighter and lost to Jude who was at a disadvantage in terms of strength... and also sick from their curse.  Jude does seem to have skill and discipline, but they&amp;apos;re not stepping forward right now, which could be saying a lot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nagisa, out of everyone, is the one to make the first move.  &lt;a target=&quot;&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc&quot; href=&quot;https://www.deviantart.com/jocelynsamara/art/MIS-ch-6-p-168-Tag-Along-1113445619&quot;&gt;She has her &amp;quot;secret weapon,&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; but it&amp;apos;s unclear what it is, or if she really knows what she&amp;apos;s doing yet.

It never happened, and they only even met a handful of times before it was canceled for reasons we don&amp;apos;t know yet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc&quot; href=&quot;https://www.deviantart.com/jocelynsamara/art/MIS-ch-4-p-117-Princess-1007701921&quot;&gt;https://www.deviantart.com/jocelynsamara/art/MIS-ch-4-p-117-Princess-1007701921&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyway, Bonnie stole Theo&amp;apos;s family crest, at first believing it to be a valuable trinket from a noble family.  But when she learned that her crew had stolen from poor kids rather than noble ones, she went to investigate.  Theo&amp;apos;s family is rumored to be disgraced after having ties to an anti demi-human cult called the Wingcutters (or the Unification of One).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc&quot; href=&quot;https://www.deviantart.com/jocelynsamara/art/MIS-ch-5-p-154-Rumors-1062961617&quot;&gt;https://www.deviantart.com/jocelynsamara/art/MIS-ch-5-p-154-Rumors-1062961617&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;And when Bonnie challenges him on this rumor right now, Theo seems to lack an argument to the contrary.  The truth about Theo&amp;apos;s family still remains a mystery and a rumor for now, but it&amp;apos;s a sketchy thing to hear, and I can&amp;apos;t blame Bonnie for wanting to distance herself from that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;As a side note, I want to address Bonnie&amp;apos;s name real quick.  We probably won&amp;apos;t hear her old name often, but I wanted to use this storyline to showcase a cis person changing their name.  I&amp;apos;ve had many cis friends over the years express jealousy of trans people like me for changing our names as part of transition.  But you don&amp;apos;t &lt;em&gt;have&lt;/em&gt; to transition to change your name.  You can just &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; it.  If you want to change it - for literally any reason, even if you just don&amp;apos;t like it - I say go for it!  Trans or not, it&amp;apos;s your name, and you have a right to feel happy with the title you identify with.  ^_^&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyway, see you next week for the big page 200!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;©2022-2025&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Impossible Soulmate, all characters, and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to Jocelyn Samara (aka Lynn Senpai). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As of this writing, Chapter 6 is planned to close with page 209. That means, believe it or not, there&amp;apos;s still ten more pages. I&amp;apos;ve been doing my best to keep up, but even with cutting it down to two updates per week, I have basically squeaked by the whole time. The art for many pages in the last couple months is done the day before it&amp;apos;s expected to go up.

And it doesn&amp;apos;t help that I find myself tweaking and adding things as I go to be able to foreshadow things for later.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yesterday morning, I woke up feeling terrible, and feel no better today. I believe this is more a case of the changing seasons and me coming down with something than anything, but the stress probably isn&amp;apos;t helping. I do want to get this chapter done (for a lot of reasons), but I also resolved to be kinder to myself and take breaks when I need them. And if I&amp;apos;m getting sick, I need to take a break so I&amp;apos;m not working through it and thereby making it harder to recover. That&amp;apos;s not going to help.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;So…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Two weeks.&lt;/strong&gt; I&amp;apos;m going to take a two week break. One to recover, one to catch up a little. And then we&amp;apos;ll get through the rest of the chapter with no further interruptions. As always, I do apologize for any inconvenience, but I greatly appreciate your patience and support through this. Even if you&amp;apos;re mad about another break, just remember this is going to make a lot of upcoming big pages look, feel, and read better.

Marchosias is still there, if you recall, but he&amp;apos;s out for the moment.  So let&amp;apos;s keep having a moment to breathe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&amp;apos;ve probably said this a few times already, but the octopus plush is kind of a recurring thing in my works.  Usually, if there&amp;apos;s need of a plush, I go with an octopus (if I need more than one, I&amp;apos;ll branch out, but there&amp;apos;s always gotta be one octopus).

And Theo confirms that they&amp;apos;ve got most of the stolen items back too (and with Arc&amp;apos;s return, they &lt;strong&gt;do&lt;/strong&gt; have all the stolen items back).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Speaking of which, Micah notices Arc holding that plush and brings it to Verity&amp;apos;s attention...&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;©2022-2025&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Impossible Soulmate, all characters, and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to Jocelyn Samara (aka Lynn Senpai).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dj9mqoh-a939cf78-2704-4f4c-9d6f-cf89b807e479.png/v1/crop/w_100,h_201,x_0,y_0,scl_0.125,q_70,strp/mis_ch_6__p_197___catch_your_breath_by_jocelynsamara_dj9mqoh-200h.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MjgzNiIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGo5bXFvaC1hOTM5Y2Y3OC0yNzA0LTRmNGMtOWQ2Zi1jZjg5YjgwN2U0NzkucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.rnxNFIcmzWVxnlPTiEgpkZffNALS_GPNXJW6juBceU4&quot; alt=&quot;thumbnail&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>            </item>

It in fact, completely deteriorates on contact.  Any element.  Any demon.  No exceptions.  This includes whether the magic is used for battle, for healing, or even for basic utility.

It doesn&amp;apos;t ring, but due to the Fire stamp we see inside, it can be used to set off a flare.  I figured it&amp;apos;d make sense for the smallest member of the group - who is also unable to vocally call for help - to have some kind of contingency plan if she gets lost.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why hasn&amp;apos;t she used it until now, though?  Well, she ran away of her own volition, if you remember.  She wasn&amp;apos;t trying to be found, at first.  And then when things went awry and she might&amp;apos;ve wanted help, by then she was standing in front of a huge scary guy like Marchosias, who kept talking about killing people who witness him.  She definitely doesn&amp;apos;t want to drag her friends into that!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;He&amp;apos;s flown away, but Arc knows her teammates are out there.  The sky is pretty dark tonight.  Would they even know he&amp;apos;s there, lurking and ready to strike?  Thanks to that flare lighting up the sky, he&amp;apos;s pretty easy to spot now, and it gives her friends a means of finding her too.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&amp;apos;s all very risky, but it might be the best shot anyone has right now...&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;©2022-2025&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Impossible Soulmate, all characters, and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to Jocelyn Samara (aka Lynn Senpai).&lt;/p&gt;</media:description>            <media:thumbnail url="https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dj5v1i8-3f4447bd-f6e5-4e18-a7c0-c5b06e4d02eb.png/v1/fit/w_150,h_150,q_70,strp/mis_ch_6__p_192___bell_by_jocelynsamara_dj5v1i8-150.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9Mzk1NSIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGo1djFpOC0zZjQ0NDdiZC1mNmU1LTRlMTgtYTdjMC1jNWIwNmU0ZDAyZWIucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.bGSNm9jfBPg2LvQ_3kPlI0iK3_oVhtxIDq81St4eK0o" height="150" width="30"/>            <media:thumbnail url="https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dj5v1i8-3f4447bd-f6e5-4e18-a7c0-c5b06e4d02eb.png/v1/fit/w_300,h_900,q_70,strp/mis_ch_6__p_192___bell_by_jocelynsamara_dj5v1i8-300w.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9Mzk1NSIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGo1djFpOC0zZjQ0NDdiZC1mNmU1LTRlMTgtYTdjMC1jNWIwNmU0ZDAyZWIucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.bGSNm9jfBPg2LvQ_3kPlI0iK3_oVhtxIDq81St4eK0o" height="900" width="182"/>            <media:thumbnail url="https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dj5v1i8-3f4447bd-f6e5-4e18-a7c0-c5b06e4d02eb.png/v1/crop/w_100,h_201,x_0,y_0,scl_0.125,q_70,strp/mis_ch_6__p_192___bell_by_jocelynsamara_dj5v1i8-200h.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9Mzk1NSIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGo1djFpOC0zZjQ0NDdiZC1mNmU1LTRlMTgtYTdjMC1jNWIwNmU0ZDAyZWIucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.bGSNm9jfBPg2LvQ_3kPlI0iK3_oVhtxIDq81St4eK0o" height="201" width="100"/>            <media:content url="https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dj5v1i8-3f4447bd-f6e5-4e18-a7c0-c5b06e4d02eb.png/v1/fill/w_402,h_1988,q_70,strp/mis_ch_6__p_192___bell_by_jocelynsamara_dj5v1i8-pre.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9Mzk1NSIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGo1djFpOC0zZjQ0NDdiZC1mNmU1LTRlMTgtYTdjMC1jNWIwNmU0ZDAyZWIucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.bGSNm9jfBPg2LvQ_3kPlI0iK3_oVhtxIDq81St4eK0o" height="1988" width="402" medium="image"/>

I figured it&amp;apos;d make sense for the smallest member of the group - who is also unable to vocally call for help - to have some kind of contingency plan if she gets lost.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why hasn&amp;apos;t she used it until now, though?  Well, she ran away of her own volition, if you remember.  She wasn&amp;apos;t trying to be found, at first.  And then when things went awry and she might&amp;apos;ve wanted help, by then she was standing in front of a huge scary guy like Marchosias, who kept talking about killing people who witness him.  She definitely doesn&amp;apos;t want to drag her friends into that!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;He&amp;apos;s flown away, but Arc knows her teammates are out there.  The sky is pretty dark tonight.  Would they even know he&amp;apos;s there, lurking and ready to strike?  Thanks to that flare lighting up the sky, he&amp;apos;s pretty easy to spot now, and it gives her friends a means of finding her too.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&amp;apos;s all very risky, but it might be the best shot anyone has right now...&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;©2022-2025&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Impossible Soulmate, all characters, and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to Jocelyn Samara (aka Lynn Senpai).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/dad8114a-1c5f-48bc-9a03-0b8258f9356e/dj5v1i8-3f4447bd-f6e5-4e18-a7c0-c5b06e4d02eb.png/v1/crop/w_100,h_201,x_0,y_0,scl_0.125,q_70,strp/mis_ch_6__p_192___bell_by_jocelynsamara_dj5v1i8-200h.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9Mzk1NSIsInBhdGgiOiIvZi9kYWQ4MTE0YS0xYzVmLTQ4YmMtOWEwMy0wYjgyNThmOTM1NmUvZGo1djFpOC0zZjQ0NDdiZC1mNmU1LTRlMTgtYTdjMC1jNWIwNmU0ZDAyZWIucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTgwMCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.bGSNm9jfBPg2LvQ_3kPlI0iK3_oVhtxIDq81St4eK0o&quot; alt=&quot;thumbnail&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>            </item>
