[Hereafter] Chapter CXXXV: Itsy Bitsy Spider (Patreon)

I didn't get to work in the chapter title as much as I originally intended, but I think this came out pretty good either way. There was one part I wasn't entirely sure on, but the editor really liked it, so I kept it in as it was. I'm sure you'll figure out what I'm talking about as you go.

Last chapter, I was kind of uncertain about the direction I was taking things in. For all that I'm going with it still, it still feels awkward that the team walks straight into that trap knowing it's a trap, but I couldn't find anything technically wrong about the string of decisions that led to it and I still can't. I think I managed to stick the landing, though. Next chapter might wind up the make-or-break part of this subplot, so we'll see how it goes.
