Hah, not gonna lie, I teared up a bit writing that Metatron scene myself. Being able to see her so vulnerable came out better than I had hoped.
Glad you enjoyed both parts of Sam's stuff, I don't get much feedback on the lewds so it's nice to know they came out ok haha. And her scars are mostly due to her being an idiot, but yeah, I figured that an aggressive brawler type should definitely have scars. I know some people think scars are a mark of shame, but it's just kinda something that happens if you fight constantly imo.
Sarah and Ash are both cute, I'm always happy to write them, and Celica getting a bit of backstory helps draw out a bit of the 'childhood friends' thing I've been telling but not showing.
