Summary:

WHAT IF...
A critical decision is made, that can go one of two ways.

Notes:

From this point on, the story will diverge into two separate timelines. Click on Timeline A for the first one, and Timeline B for the second. To see both of them side-by-side, choose the last option (if you are on a mobile device, landscape mode will make it easier to see/read).

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Notes:

For reference, Timeline A was posted on Instagram & Tumblr. Timeline B was posted on Reddit & X/Twitter.

  Yeah some of them had different panel counts in the different timelines. Which makes the side-by-side look a little weird.

Ehehe, I was hoping you'd get to this one - the split timeline is so fun, I love being able to see them side-by-side!
Thank you for sharing!

  Took me a bit to decide if/how I wanted to handle them. I think this gets the “best of both worlds”.
