info_outlineI wrote the chapter about nightmare transfer very early when first developing this story, back when I spent significant time in the childhood section. Later I moved this chapter to the end so that Jane could understand John's motivations but also Ray's true empathy for his friend. The latter half of this chapter, the return of a classic character, was one of the last few pages I wrote after two friends (and beta readers) said I needed to close out this part of the story better. I'm so glad I listened.
