The Counselor rested an elbow on the bartop as her drinks arrived, and she lifted up one of the glasses. "You have been. Now... take a break, start fresh later. You might need the break, if you do what I expect you to do." She downed her drink in one fluid motion, impressive to Sasha given the amount of alcohol in it.
Sasha frowned. "What are you talking about?"
The Counselor breathed in deeply, seemingly considering how to phrase her reply. "I expect that you'll ignore my advice and go ahead and propose to Mru. And you'll need a stiff drink to get over his response."

Anonymous3 months agoAmazingly rendered story with so much wit and wisdom entwined. One of best chapters so far.
ShotThroughTheHeart3 months agoThis whole series has already been top of the line, but this episode takes the cake. The PsyOps in here is downright scary in its ingenuity. As Zaphod Beeblebrox once said: "Several million points out of ten for style".
Five stars, of course!!
SensualSigma3 months agoSeeing how much work Kami puts in to help everyone, made that ending extra infuriating. Makes me want to isekai into the story and go full Stellar John Wick.
Slofred3 months agoAmazing how much crap one shape shifter can create in half a day. Great chapter and another 5 star effort. Thankyou for sharing.
