[Hereafter] Chapter CXIV: A Cinematic Experience (Patreon)

And we're back to breaking 7K.

This one had a lot of stuff going on in it, but I liked every single bit of it, so there was no fat to trim. It was all of it good.

Those of you who are familiar with FGO won't be totally surprised by that middle section, but for those of you who aren't quite so familiar with it... Yeah. How it works is something I came up with on my own, because FGO itself never goes into too much detail about what would happen beyond, well, the end result.

But I figured the leadup to it would be just as bad and much harder to watch. I also gave it more leeway, instead of it being, "Oh yeah, conveniently, it'll happen, like, right after you finish this last Singularity, Ritsuka, so prepare yourself mentally for that." Nasu runs on narrative convenience a little too much sometimes. I figured it would have more impact if it was just a little bit more gradual. Sudden, by just about any standard, but not instant.
