   Summary

   When Rosa loves someone, she loves them deeply, no half-measures. And if that brings her a bit more pain than she expected, she'll do her best to bear the blows.

   A series of interrelated episodes chronicling Rosa's life before, during, and after the games. While the Cecil/Rosa sweetness is a given, this story will also focus on other relationships and themes.

   Chapter 4 now up: After a year of happiness, Sir Richard is dead. The fallout hits Rosa and her family hard and heavy. Kain's emotional health takes another beating and Cecil's physical health declines.
