Ironing out plot

Earlier today I had responses from my trusted readers on a defining chapter in Mike's life, and they both commented on the same points, as they did on a read through of raw material. I've learned that when this happens, the wise writer listens and goes to work--that's why you asked for their opinion, n'est-che pon? In thinking through the points they raised, I'm finding new insight into other important but secondary characters, as well as Mike.

It's all good, and my trusted readers help me make it better. Bless.
