ZF20: Ah, good, there you are. I knew you'd show up sooner or later.

The match is definitely getting more intense, but the discussion will have more of an impact on the future, in more ways than one. I've already got big, big plans for this plotline, believe me. Your guess is sort of on the right track, but... I won't say anything more for fear of giving too much away. Let me just say, though, you won't find out everything that's going on for a long while. There are mysteries beneath the surface, and then there are mysteries that I've hinted at (very) subtly, but you probably don't have a clue about yet. One thing's for sure, though: I'll try to post this ASAP, because I don't want to leave you hanging for too long! (I'm nice that way, you see?)

One final note. If you're trying to figure out what the discussion is about, well, I hope you're psychic. I've done everything I can to make it as clear, yet as vague as possible. While I've no doubt that you can get some of it, I will be very shocked if you come if with everything that's going on. Not that it's an impossibility, I just find it unlikely.

I'm working on the next chapter right now, so it should be up soon. Until then!
