I'm not totally satisfied with my opening, especially since it was done without any sort of sleep in the prior 18 hours, but there it is. I kind of held back from detailing Irina's thoughts too much, mostly because the post was just me being pretentious and not actually doing much of anything important.

I took certain liberties that I hope were not stepping over any lines, squish. 

I should probably sleep now. I'll go do that.
