Gonna start by saying that this round (in spite of how RL and various situations kept me from being as active as I wanted) was really fun! I enjoyed the storybook elements a lot and the NPCs were amazing to watch/play off of.

There were just a few moments where I felt communication could have used some improvement, and there was a moment during week 3's investigation where I was a little confused. Like here - Kurama hadn't been down to see their feet, so he shouldn't have known whose prints belonged to which person, at all. And that was pretty damning evidence that felt a bit... handed out? Though, I could have missed something. It was just something that stuck out and I thought it should be brought up as a JIC.

And, without going into detail, there was a time after that week's trial where I was left feeling kinda brushed aside as a player. I felt that the situation could have been handled with more consideration for all involved, especially given I had preemptively brought things up to the mods and had been under the impression that something was okay, only for it to suddenly not be okay.

(I was under a lot of strain and pressure at that point in my life, so I admittedly forced myself into this corner of "okay, sure, I get it". I am not angry with anyone, at all. It maybe hurt my feelings, more than anything. And I had to wait until my situation straightened out some before I could approach this.)

Admittedly, it's made playing this version of Akira totally uncomfortable at times, since I was left in a situation where dropping threads was all I could manage to do, just to avoid having my character saying a thing. And I was only able to pick him back up after the period of people asking him questions regarding his case passed.

So, I just think some reflecting and chatting about that situation could be good, in the event something like that ever comes up again. I think you guys are great mods - I wouldn't have felt comfortable bringing this up, if I thought you guys don't take even things like this seriously.

Hey there, we wanted to respond to you specifically about one of the things you mentioned.

We did pull back a bit after week 3, but that was because we knew your life was really hectic then and didn't want to add more stress to it. It was less that we were 'brushing you aside' and more that we wanted to give you space to handle everything you were going through. We figured you would come to us when things were better, if that makes sense? So if our silence on the matter made you uncomfortable, we apologize for that.

If you want to discuss this further, then we can chat in private on discord if you like. Just let us know if that's what you want, and we can set that up.
