Scarlet Remembrance is settling into itself. The frame is there now—five chapters tracing Millicent’s slow shift from affliction into release, each one breathing a little differently.

The Prologue holds steady. Origin has been rewritten into something between a codex fragment and a ritual entry, factual where it needs to be, reverent where it can’t help itself. Chapter I is drafted, and there’s a warmth in that section I keep returning to; it feels closest to how she lives in my mind.

The shrine will live at [redacted], which will serve as a small collective for shrines and creative archives. Scarlet Remembrance will be the first stone placed.

Next comes Mirror Rot—refining the language, letting the layout find its rhythm, and shaping the framework for the Ghost of You challenge. Slow work, but it’s moving with its own pulse.

The pace is deliberate. I’d rather let it arrive as it wants to, instead of pushing it somewhere premature.
