In the last chapter, Princess was confronted by the angry Chad, who had become a little less mentally stable after seeing things he had no explanation for. As it turns out, the one he had managed to come up with was "Hellhound", which is a little understandable, as he saw a dog that talked, breathed fire, spread demonic-looking wings, and for a brief moment, had horns and a serpent-like head. ...Not the best of moves there, Princess, but I guess it worked out? Just when she thought she'd destroyed her friendship, it turns out that Cheryl isn't willing to give up just yet on her. Isn't that so nice of her?
So, 19 and 20? Yes... 19 ends in a spot that, well, I really didn't want to leave it at, even when writing. I wanted to start writing 20 as soon as possible, and since it would take longer than usual to have the chapter approved for posting, I went ahead and started. If you thought you were upset with the cliffhanger on Chapter 16, you'd probably be grabbing pitchforks if I left it on the ending of 19 for a week!
Chapter 19 contains 7722 words. The conversation in the beginning is a long one, but I feel like it kind of needs to be as long as it is? I didn't really see a whole lot I could cut out without changing the tone of the scene, without letting Cheryl have time to come to her decision. She's not just looking for what is being said, she's also looking for how Princess is saying it. This makes the chapter right around average length, because even though I tend to aim for around 6000-6500 words, I have more than a few 9000+ chapters that pull the average up a little. Median length is still at 6823. Chapter 20 is actually the shortest chapter posted so far, at 5447 words. I thought about going back and trying to add more, but I never really saw a spot that felt "organic" to do so, and the characters are already so stressed and rushing that it felt like it would make things even more frustrating, which would change how they acted, and I'd have to re-write the entire thing. So I'm okay with having a new shortest, it's only 290 shorter than the previous shortest (which is Chapter 4, the Dysphoria Chapter, at 5737 words.) The combined lengths is 13,169, which makes this my largest single upload, pushing pretty far past Chapter 3's 10,987 words, so I hope it's okay that they're not split apart! I figure people have had enough of "split apart" by now, really. ^_^
