Wow. I can still only understand a little Esperanto, but just looking at Chapter 19, I feel like it's speaking directly to me.

Especially the second page, with the illustration...

YES.

NO.

So, which is it? Yes or No? And who gets to decide?

I've been thinking about this YES/NO thing a lot lately. I mean, how did I wind up on THIS branch of the multiverse? Was it my choice?

Did I sign up voluntarily for this mission? Did I CHOOSE to come to this world as a labyrinth traveler?

If so, then there must be other branches of the multiverse where I chose NOT to come to this world. Other branches where I'm home with my family, and it's another girl who woke up in the labyrinth. But for some reason, this version of me is here. I'm the Ariadne who wanted to save the worlds, even if it meant risking never going home again.

And then I wonder. Are there worlds where YOU decided not to help me?

Well, I'm so glad I'm in the world where you did decide to join the agonothetia

Anyway, I can't wait until we translate Chapter 19 so we can talk about this more.

Download Chapter 19 from the omphaputer.

And thank you for safely recovering it, Paris!
