This was such a fun, wild ride! I loved the gradual worldbuilding and wish it was longer, there was clearly so much in this world to explore. Great job!
My favorite lines:
"Only an uncaring god can have the oldest view. Science and statistics might give us some distance. Get us farther from ego and closer to truth. But the curse of man is that he will never be far enough. He will always be tainted by ego. Models and approximations. Imperfections in perfection."
"Those lovely, deadly eyes."
"Despite everything she was still so damn beautiful."
"As a Woman in STEM (TM) myself, I was already feeling this huge pressure not to be a dumbass in front of my peers."
(in case you couldn't tell I ship Helen/Emmy really hard lol. We can all only hope to find someone who loves enough, whether platonically or romantically, to fight a giant eldritch string monster for us)
I really enjoyed this novella and will totally be telling all my college friends to buy it, since we all definitely understand Helen's pain lmao. (the pain of being a college student. Not the pain of fighting an interdimensional eldritch being)
