Love the tie back to Japanese Seaweed colonies and Shia Santos’ story!

A nice story line building up here in this piece, Claudia! As a reader, I appreciate your application of parity in allowing all the characters politics to be displayed as the conflict and tension ramp and we move towards the forest. It showed the stories investment in all parties involved, even the grotesque ones. And I love the human and non-human interaction, especially the line, "Human and artificial intelligence considered each other in silence." Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks for reading and taking the time to leave a note, Brian. It’s great to see the story through the eyes of a reader. This story eluded me for a long time and it’s amazing to finally get it out into the world.
