-Heyo-

Somehow, build 3 of The Red Ballet is almost done even though it's been less than three weeks since the last update. I think it'll be around 25k words; and with quite a lot of art which is the only thing I have to finish up. I may be going a bit insane :D 

Anyway, with build 3 I will be introducing unlockable side stories. They will be about events that don't necessarily fit into the main narrative, but still give further insight into the characters. And maybe - just maybe - it will give them the chance to go a day without something fucked up happening.

Stitches, the first of these side stories, is not one of those days. Despite Awa's tendency to jump straight over innuendos and euphemisms into borderline sexual harassment, she struggles to keep it together. Only the stitches keep that smile on her face most of the time.

As you may be able to surmise, Stitches and other side stories can be unlocked and played in The Red Ballet; but I thought it may be fun to create a standalone version! Feel free to play it while I put the finishing touches on build 3, which will continue Emilio's route. Maybe he'll finally be ready to tell Sid about his… issues. If Sid is really able to handle that though– 

– Choose wisely for them both.

Anyway, I'll just briefly do the spiel about euuuhm early access to builds and short stories will be on  Patreon where y'all can also peer pressure me into what these short stories should be about. If you want? idk, we have like worldwide inflation even though I never consented to that. 

Goodnight, before The Red Ballet turns even more into David Lynch's Inland Empire. Wait... have y'all seen his short film Rabbits? I didn't even think about that and a certain very tall gentleman(gentlething?) in my story until now. He stole my childhood hallucinations :(

--PS, if you found typos; no you didn't.
