i was surprised when i read an obol for the troubles and you left me this bittersweet taste for days. i'll be honest, i wasn't expecting the final event with hk but i feel a kind of comfort knowing he had the chance to spend the eternity with yj :/
i was thinking, if possible would you take a different path for the ending? like, had you pondered of other possibilities or started already knowing how you would finish?

i kinda always knew that the ending would be Kai ending up in Elysium and the two of them reuniting, i would punch MYSELF if Kai was cast into tartarus.

However, I did have a different plan for the entire REST of the plot. My other draft was outlined and all before i quickly changed it to the current edition. It starts with Kai already in the underworld, but because he never got a proper burial, has to wander the banks of the Stxy for 100 years. It would be more about Kai coming to terms with his circumstances and eventually death, while still fearing his placement because of his 'divine punishment'. Hades/Yeonjun would learn for the first time the fear of being judged in death. But I got stuck trying to make it interesting when the setting was so bleak and they do nothing but wander. I did have a few, really raw lines in that draft tho, which i really do want to use sometime in the future
