OFFICIALLY revealed and name dropped, I guess I should say- Considering this chapter was meant to serve a similar purpose to N's dream about Cyn at the start of the Heartbeat episode
C was indeed the first Host of the Solver not unlike Cyn being the Host in canon! The teensy little difference there is that instead of the Solver staying with C... It switched onto N so N became our Solver Host in the end while C went on to get turned into a DD
And you'd be correct! She's our N swap in the way that N is our Cyn swap
Yeahhhh, the reveal was like... It's a big thing for the people that didn't clue in on the Solver Host being N before now, but I also put the deliberate hint out there for the people that paid enough attention to catch it and connect the dot. It might be a reveal for some while it's a confirmation for others like yourself
Regardless of the reveal impact though... That IS a very big milestone for the story and now it means I get to sneak the Solver into more places... It also means that BCD can be a little more open about who their group's mysteriously missing fourth person was...
And I get to look forward to the evil things I can do in future episode arcs~
That is true, this reveal is a huge milestone for the fic. One can do so much more when the solver finally makes its grand appearance.
I got that this chapter was supposed to reflect the intro to episode 2, I just wasn’t entirely sure which characters B and C swapped with here. They both seem like plausible swaps for either N or V, it was hard to really decide.
I am excited for these upcoming evil things… and to stare down the most angsty moments of this fic without even flinching.
And I'll be doing PLENTY of stuff with that going forward... We have to get all the fun Solver horror terrors and vampire transformations rolling!
Okay, so, for the convenience of everyone reading this comment... Here's a little confirmation on who's who out of the manor crew. B represents J, D took V's role, C is N, and N is serving as the Solver Host in place of Cyn
That being said... The roles aren't necessarily 1:1 to canon because we've already seen that B didn't bite the dust unlike J and it was implied in this chapter that D is the one that followed Tessa everywhere like manor J
B's considered J because he's the squad leader but I did get a little creative with what exact roles everyone is playing in this fic by virtue of it running Slightly To The Left of canon. That'll play into things as we go through later arcs
Yeah, I never thought of B as a J swap since he actually formed a bond with the worker drones first. I usually assume whoever is the first one to interact with a worker without killing them is the N swap.
And D just felt more like J to me. Probably something about actually doing her job. Can’t exactly pin that one down.
Slightly to the left may be a little bit of an understatement.
Ehhhh, it might be a little bit of an understatement- I'm not super great at judging this kind of stuff
Calling B the J of the group may not be super duper accurate either because the only thing that really makes him that is him being the squad leader, but I tend to say that D is V because of the roles she'll be filling in future arcs
