No offence, since you think it's not really a chapter, but it's one of my favourites. Might have to do with the fact that I'm still mourning Sibyll and this is some kind of Mirror of Erised :p
The first part summoned Robert Frost's "Acquainted with the Night" (watch out, I can has literary references ^^), and instantly set the mood for the much awaited part II of S&W's beginnings. Then the flashback itself was just perfect, not only the perfect pictures with the games between shadows and faint lights (the club interior shots are beautiful:) but the captions too. I guess this episode has been in your mind long before this update, it just flows like it's supposed to do. (Yeah, I've overused "flawless" so I'm switching to "perfect".) The growing figure of Simtopi's cutest emo kid (literally, I mean, he's squatting/sitting at the beginning and standing at the end XD) neatly frames the sad and beautiful memory of the dead countess, and it kind of brought me back to the poem, with a determined Wesley that might have found, at last!, his own stand towards, or beyond, good and evil. Finger crossed for you, Wesley!

What can I say, you're still the best.
But Sibyll... :'{
