I'd just like to share to my patrons on my very first draft of what i'd wanted the story to be. After the whole arc with Aria and the Finless mermaid, I kind of wanted to go the route of the old man losing everything and becoming somewhat of a hobo earning money with a blind kid who plays music while he tells his stories. You can see where i kept some parts and left out some areas.
Still, this could have been an interesting arc. I might go back to this in the future. This is definitely something i'm really interested in telling. :)
