Chapter bursts through the glass of the laboratory tank, dripping amniotic fluids and slick with greenish slime, uncurling cruel claws and licking sharpened teeth, ready for a messy red feast.

An epub version of the chapter is also attached!
Arc 4 thus gets more deeply underway! Things continue to get ever more complicated for ... well, for everybody involved in this, shall we say? Meanwhile, I can't really say much this week, not without spoilers! I shall have to let the characters say it all for me, which is usually the best course of action, of course.
Behind the scenes, I still think this arc is on track for about 7-9 chapters. We're really getting stuck into the details and the forward motion here, though Octavia herself might be struggling rather a lot even with the simple act of remaining conscious. I'm sure the other magical girls will have something to say about that.
I hope you all enjoy this one, dear readers! Once more we leave the sphere of the waking world, winging off to the benighted reaches of the dream-lashed moon.
