well here we are! the end of the chapter! man i graduated from college while this chapter was happening. time flies! here's what we've learned so far:

• lapointe and her ladies are looking for su yeong on the island
• january has four younger brothers! fred, mark, abel, and mason. do you get it
• january is apprenticed under her uncle: joseph rothart
• seiji's mother, madam soga, is in charge of the city guard
• sylas' father took him quitting Poorly, which sylas in turn took poorly. seiji, in attempting to cheer him up, made it worse. sylas accused him of being his friend as a joke
• seiji took this out on january, blaming her, and threatened to take everything away from her for it. she kicked his ass.
• sasha thinks seiji was intimidating january into leaving her alone, and he lets her think that. he takes the money she earned last chapter
• jan has a panic over the consequences of kicking seiji's ass, friday talks her down
• lapointe sweettalks january, derides seiji and sylas, and declares she'll be sponsoring january from here on. yvette was apparently just like january
• joseph knew yvette. he's afraid of january getting hurt by lapointe, but january is too swept up to realize
• seiji's mom calls seiji out for both picking a fight with january, and for having a really obvious crush on sylas

and that's it! the next two weeks will, as always, be guest content before moving on to chapter 6! thanks for reading, and support me on patreon!
