Just a reminder, this is AI-generated concept artwork that I use to help myself visualize. It will never be sold or profited from in any way and will disappear whenever the book gets published. I understand that some people don't enjoy the existence of AI art in any form (and others just don't want to see it), so it will never be placed beside the text of the story and will come in separate chapters that are easy to opt out of. I hope that this is a reasonable compromise that respects everyone's divergent preferences.

  Not every detail will be a perfect match with the text and it will never be as good as your imagination. If something you see doesn't work with the version in your head, go with your imagination instead. Thanks for everything and I hope that you enjoy the rest of the arc.

  I went ahead and did Dialla and Earl, since I didn't get to them last week.
