The previous chapter got posted twice again—sorry about that. Consider it a free bonus, since this chapter wasn't charged for. I'd originally meant to fix some typos, but ended up editing the wrong chapter instead. Sweat!

Were they a group of people who only lived in their own little worlds?
That reminded me of a set of images I'd seen before. In their own eyes,
