Thanks! I'm just glad someone read it
Yeah I'm probably gonna excise the karaoke scene entirely. It doesn't really add anything and I honestly forgot I had it til you mentioned it. I'm also removing some of the superfluous Lilim (bringing the count down from 11 to 7, much more manageable and a more symbolic number to work with) cuz lord knows I have *enough* characters to work with already.
I'm glad you liked Eris, she's one of the more fun characters to write.
And yeah the specific world building is nearly done now that the character's role is established. Still going to be quite a bit, as the city itself is a character, but expect Yuri to grow a bit more.
