Having put her plan into motion, Naoto meets back up with Monika, all for the purpose of working her way out of the situation Edelgard had put her in. Later, Naoto ends up coming across Edelgard herself, and eventually comes to realize who exactly the indomitable woman is on the inside.

Returning to Naoto for this chapter, picking back up on where we last left off with her. As a quick note, next chapter will return to BB, and then after that will be the finale chapters for V2. As such, V2 will be coming to an end in early-January. Once that happens, it'll have been approximately ~14 months since the first chapter of Deer River came out (with around a month's worth of writing beforehand if I remember correctly). I'll touch on the details regarding the finale next week (including art), as well as what's to come for the future.

And now, off-topic: Sephiroth is in Smash! The production quality on all of the Smash trailers has always been top-notch, and Sephiroth's trailer was no exception. I think that trailer is probably my favorite one yet. Somehow, the funniest moment of that trailer wasn't the Mario scene, but Cloud just blankly staring at Sephiroth with a "Not this shit again" expression. And One-Winged Angel is still the killer theme it's always been.
