I debated a long time before continuing with this chapter. This was what was supposed to happen for this choice but I didn't really want to write it.

Still, I realized if I just deus ex machina away the problem it removes the risks. Basically, babying you to work it towards the ending I want defeats the point of having the story as interactive in the first place.

It's not the route I wanted, but it's the one that was chosen and I will continue it.
