Scope and Contents

This folder is full of partial chapter drafts and deleted scenes. Several contain stories that will end up in Five Years On A Rock instead, told from Sawa's point of view instead of Kiyo's. For example, there is an early draft of Chapter 1 that describes Kiyo's childhood car accident. This was deleted from All I Asking For Is My Body and referenced in Chapter 19 of Five Years On A Rock instead. Additionally, the events in the short story "Teru Me" are later referenced in Chapter 23 of Five Years On A Rock.
