As it turns out, not every case turns out like Grey’s.
PS- thanks all for your patience, I was swamped with storyboard work for all of last week and part of this week, also I was under the weather :’) so it wasn’t a great combo, as you can imagine.
Enjoy the update? Show the love via Ko-Fi!
Hi folks!
It’s been a little bit since chapter 5 wrapped up, so I wanted to come by with an update on chapter 6’s progress. After polishing up chapter 6’s script throughout October, I’m now in the process of designing the cover art and first few pages. Which means, you can expect to see a return to Centralia by the end of the month! ⸜( ˙˘˙)⸝
I’m very excited to delve into this next chapter and can’t wait to see what you think! It’s going to be quite the dramatic shift as Midori comes up against some of her biggest challenges yet.
I’m also working hard on a website re-design, which I hope will make for a more reader-friendly experience. Especially if I can figure out a comments system that’s not totally borked. So look forward to that!
Lastly, I’ve set up a shop page on Centralia’s Ko-Fi page, which you can find here. I’d like to have a shop integrated into the site, but for now, this works pretty well!
Thank you as always for your support and readership! I’ll see you soon for chapter 6!

Good to hear from you! Take your time!
Thank goodness for RSS feeds!
All right, this is heavy.
I get the feeling that Lor is a very bright, but also lonely person. I think that other than maybe a couple of people at Switch, Midori might be the only real friend she has right now. Here’s hoping it stays that way.
I just re-read my comment, and I thought maybe I should clarify that I hope Midori remains friends with Lor, not that I hope she remains lonely. Sorry, but I wanted to clear that up.
Of course! Haha, I don’t think anyone is wishing Lor to be all alone.
I know quite a few people whose bodies would fail them if not for a daily regimen of pills–myself being one of them, since I’m diabetic. And none of us is gene-modded.
Yes, gene therapy is fraught with pitfalls. No, surviving on medication is not that uncommon. 🙂
Agreed. Between diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, gout, and some kind of neurological leg pains, I’m up to 17 daily medicines, not counting the vitamin pills. Looks like Lor has three. Also, autism is a “minor problem” only for people not far along on the spectrum. There’s a long conversation to be had about the politicization of medical diagnoses. (Not that it’s always bad. The de-diagnosisization of homosexuality has been a good thing. I’m not so convinced that the de-diagnosisization of deafness has been so great. For autism, again, my feeling depends on how severe a particular case is. Getting my flame-retardant suit ready.)
It’s truly a complex matter with a long and troubled medical history. I’m glad that people who live with various conditions (myself included) have more of a say regarding their health/body/identity than before, though we still have a lot to figure out. With hopefully no need for flame-retardant suits, haha. Be nice y’all!
I’m also a member of the “need daily medication to thrive” crowd, so, hooray :’)
Just wanted to compliment you on the claw grip there while chopping the onion! Yeahhhh, safe fingers. ^_^
Haha thanks for noticing! Meanwhile, Midori holds a whisk like someone who’s truly never cooked before.
That being said, I’m not super mindful about doing the proper grip when cutting things… still got my fingers though
As an autistic who has done a LOT of research, I have soooooo much feels about this. >.<;;;;
Please let me know if I mis-speak on the matter, as I’m not autistic! I don’t want to cast it in a negative light, but rather explore how neuro-divergency is often unfairly condemned by neuro-typical people.
