I never know where this series is going. I had thought we were going to pretend to be her boyfriend to get close and investigate. However, now we are just talking directly with another one of her boyfriends, trying to save him?

Wait, what?

This seems like it might somehow be connected to the main plot, and… that’s pretty much it.

I imagine the author with a bunch of little slips of paper, each one of which refers to a plot point in an enormous sprawling story, and he sticks all of those little slips of paper to a wall, then throws a dart at it, and whichever one he hits, that’s the one he reveals this chapter.
