For you OG readers. Just letting you guys know that I decided to repurpose my OELN to become Volume 0. You can scroll back to read a little bit into detail about Sequencee's past with his mother. It's pretty similar to Evelyn's Story Fragment, but it's got some details which would help inform you about the lore of the story.
Also, thanks @APieceof Rock for his advice. I re-edited volume 1 also, to get rid of the clunky bits.
