Chapter 13 is one of my favorites of the whole book. Not only was it fun to write, the choices feel really satisfying, too!
Of all the chapters so far, this one interweaves the side story content the most. That doesn't mean you have to read the short stories to understand what's going on, but they do help delve into some of the revelations made by a certain character in this chapter. That character, of course, being none other than Nishi!
The foul-mouthed yakuza is one of my favorite characters—and not just because she allows me to write cuss words! Between her criminal composure, rebellious teenager phase, and a secret maternal side, there's a lot going on with her. Of the companions, Nishi has the most in common with the MC, and I think that shows in their exchanges.
