The first eight chapters removed from AAoMM proper, given a new lease on life as part of the eventual Light Novel rewrite!  Stretched into thirteen chapters, the prologue should feel a bit smoother than they originally did, despite a possible confusing bit of memory log to narration swapping. Join our protagonists, currently known as Reggie and Lil, for a vaguely Isekai adventure in a land whose rules contradict memories available to them.  Our youthful protagonists struggle against nature, wildlife, even the rules of the world, as they endeavor to survive, all while having to overcome trauma caused during their formative moments. This series explores adventure from the inner narrative perspective of someone with PTSD, generalized anxiety, depression, gender dysphoria, and more.  Our narrator is at times unreliable, though most of them are clarified rather quickly.
