Thank you, Graham. I wanted to bring Jekka more to the center of the action, and this seemed the right time to do so. Part One had to focus on Mercy and the dynamic between her and Bolt that results in her reluctantly joining the party. And I didn’t see room in those proceedings to do much more than simply introduce Jekka fairly briefly as that action unfolded. So I took the opportunity here to bring her much more “on stage”. Also, it’s fun writing in another character’s “voice”, especially one as different in tone from Mercy’s voice as Jekka is.
A nice move to change the POV for this story.
